The Hollywood Hills were going up in flames and Reynolds had to act fast to help her friend just a few minutes away in Runyon Canyon, she told 9news.com.au. 'When the alert hit our phone about the Hollywood Hills fire, there was pandemonium. Cars began speeding, honking and immediately it felt unsafe,' she said.

'You could see the black and red smoke coming across the city from multiple fires and it was like witnessing something out of an apocalypse film.'. Despite watching her neighbourhood catch on fire, Reynolds braved the wild traffic to rescue her friend who was ordered to evacuate but didn't have a vehicle.

An Australian reality TV star has been caught in the Los Angeles fire (pictured) as celebrity-packed districts are forced to evacuate their homes. Reynolds said the scenes she faced on the road as people fled the wildfires which had ravaged Los Angeles for days were the most 'terrifying' she had ever seen.
'The traffic was in complete chaos and there was a moment where we wondered if the gridlock traffic would move, and if it didn't we would have to make a run for it.'. She added that the 'streets of Hollywood Boulevard were lined with people evacuating hotels in Hollywood as the hills burnt in the background'.
