They don't, infact, they gain mass.
When paper burns it reacts with oxygen and turns into carbon dioxide and water.
Both of these are gasses which you wont see anymore.
The only thing you will see after the reaction is the black charcoal, which is only a small percentage of the gasses created.
So in the end the paper weighs more because of the attached oxygen.
The only problem is that you cant see or weigh the gas.
