Pratt recently ended an unsuccessful run to become the next mayor of Los Angeles
Pratt has been a vocal critic of the city's various policies since losing his home in the wildfires last year - a loss that prompted him to unsuccessfully run for mayor of the city.
For a time, Pratt was second place in the election until city councilmember Nithya Raman overcame his lead.
The following night, the Associated Press announced that Raman will advance to a runoff election against incumbent Democrat Mayor Karen Bass - officially making Pratt the loser.
In California, the top two vote-getters advance to a November runoff election regardless of party.
Pratt, who once appeared on the reality television show The Hills, shook up the race, turning it into a vengeance campaign against Bass after losing his $3 million home in last year's Palisades fire.

He got a boost from user-created AI videos and his own team's creative ads, in which the reality veteran pledged to be a change agent to tackle the city's massive homeless problem.
Over the course of his campaign, Pratt drummed up plenty of celebrity support.
Frasier's Kelsey Grammer was among the Hollywood supporters, telling Fox News Digital: 'He's the only guy that's a real option'.
Dennis Quaid echoed his sentiments, as when asked why he was supporting Spencer, he told Fox: 'Why? What are you talking about? Why? Just look around, man.'
Katharine McPhee and David Foster helped Spencer raise funds for his race, throwing him a fundraiser earlier this year.
