Hollywood actors including Chris Pratt have praised the “brave firefighters and first responders” who are tackling wind-driven wildfires in California. Film premieres were cancelled as 30,000 people were put under evacuation orders in a Los Angeles neighbourhood, home to a string of A-list celebrities, on Tuesday.
Further evacuation orders were issued about 25 miles north east of Pacific Palisades in Altadena after another fire spread, with a number of stars warning about the blazes online. Guardians Of The Galaxy star Pratt, 45, encouraged people to “come together” and “support one another” amid the destruction.
He posted on Instagram: “Please send prayers and strength tonight to everyone in Los Angeles affected by these devastating fires. “Los Angeles is in a state of emergency and over 30,000 have been ordered to evacuate. “Thank you to the brave firefighters and first responders who are working tirelessly to protect lives, homes, and wildlife as they battle fast-moving wildfire fueled by fierce winds.
“You are true heroes, and we are endlessly grateful for your sacrifice and courage.”. Actor Josh Gad, who voices Olaf in the Frozen films, also praised the emergency services and posted a video showing a blaze ripping through a hillside. He said: “My deepest gratitude and appreciation goes out to our brave fire and rescue and police forces who are doing everything in their power to keep the residents of Los Angeles safe right now.”.
