Southern California is under a state of emergency as multiple wildfires burn through Los Angeles County. More than 30,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes and flee for their lives.
Fires ripped through the Pacific Palisades, one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, burning at a rate of five football fields per minute. Amid the chaos, some celebrities are sharing about the impact of the fires on their homes.
Songwiriter Diane Warren, TV host and actress Ricki Lake and Paris Hilton are among those who lost their homes.
On The Red Carpet's George Pennacchio explains how Hollywood is impacted by the devastating wildfires raging across Southern California, and which celebrities have been directly affected.
Hilton's representative told ABC News that her home was among those destroyed amid the wildfires. "Heartbroken beyond words. Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience," Hilton posted to Instagram Wednesday.
"This home was where we built so many precious memories. It's where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London."
She added that while her loss was overwhelming, she was grateful that her family is safe. She also extended her prayers to others who have been affected by the wildfires and shared that she was in contact with nonprofit organizations on how to help the community.
"The Hills" alum Heidi Montag shared an emotional TikTok video on Tuesday in which she revealed the house she shares with husband Spencer Pratt and their children had burned down.
"I'm so sad our house is gone," she said, fighting back tears. Pratt also shared via his Instagram story that his parents' house had burned down as well.
"General Hospital" actor Cameron Mathison shared a video to Instagram showing the devastation left behind by the fire and revealing his house burned down in the blaze.
"We are safe," he wrote. "But this is what's left of our beautiful home. Our home where our kids were raised and where they wanted to raise their own someday."
Mathison continued, "Thanks to all who reached out and checked in. Can't respond to all so wanted to give an update here. Sending so many prayers to everyone being affected by these fires."
"Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill shared an Instagram post about his family's personal evacuation from Malibu to safety at his daughter's house, urging his followers to "STAY SAFE!"
Singer and actress Mandy Moore posted on her Instagram story that she'd evacuated and was safe with her "kids, dogs and cats."
"Praying and grateful for the first responders," Moore added.
On Tuesday, actor James Woods shared a post on X about losing his home in the fires.
"All the smoke detectors are going off in our house and transmitting to our iPhones," he wrote. "I couldn't believe our lovely little home in the hills held on this long. It feels like losing a loved one."
Woods shared several videos on his X account showing flames burning dangerously close to several homes, sending smoke billowing over the area.
In a separate post, he addressed "all the lovely people offering care and love," writing, "There is no possession as priceless as friends and good neighbors during a tragedy. I can't believe the blessings we enjoy, and I am humbly grateful."
"Schitt's Creek" actor Eugene Levy, the Honorary Mayor of Pacific Palisades, spoke to the Los Angeles Times as he evacuated the area.
Levy said the "smoke looked pretty black and intense" in the area at the time, adding, "I couldn't see any flames, but the smoke was very dark."
Among the events that have been impacted by the fires, the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations were delayed and changed from an in-person event to nominees being unveiled via press release on the organization's website, out of "an abundance of caution" for people's safety.
