Five people have sadly lost their lives and 1000s, including a number of celebrities, have seen their homes destroyed after the worst fires in Los Angeles’ history tear through the city amid highly intense winds. At least 70,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes amid the disaster.
The Pacific Palisades, an affluent Los Angeles neighbourhood is one of the most badly affected areas. The area is home to many A-Listers including Mandy Moore , Paris Hilton, Anthony Hopkins and Jamie Lee Curtis , who have lost their homes in the devastating fires which have been declared a state of emergency, seen in before and after pictures.
Oscar winning lyricist Diane Warren has also lost her home of 30 years due to the catastrophic fires. "I’ve had this house for almost 30 years," she said. It looks like it was lost in the fire last night. There’s a rainbow shining on it which I’m taking as a sign of hope for all creatures who have been affected by this tragedy,” she shared on Instagram.
Actor Mark Hamil has also opened up, saying that he and his family were "fleeing for our lives,” whereas Mandy Moore took to Instagram to express her numbness. "Honestly, I’m in shock and feeling numb for all so many have lost, including my family,” she said.
As well as homes, public places including banks and restaurants have also been left in ruins. Continuing, Mandy said: "My children’s school is gone. Our favourite restaurants, leveled. So many friends and loved ones have lost everything too. Our community is broken but we will be here to rebuild together.".
