Songwriter Diane Warren says house of 30 years destroyed in Californian wildfire Oscar-winning songwriter Diane Warren is among the stars who have lost their homes in “unprecedented wildfires” raging across Los Angeles.
Thousands of firefighters were attempting to contain the original Palisades fire, which has burnt nearly 16,000 acres, and five others across southern California which threaten to destroy more homes and lives as strong winds scattered embers.
The wildfires were impacting affluent neighbourhoods including Calabasas and Santa Monica, home to a string of A-list celebrities including Mark Hamill, James Woods and Mandy Moore.
Among those affected was music star Warren, who wrote on Instagram: “This is the last pic I took of Leah’s rock from my beach house.
Hamill said his family were “fleeing for our lives” as they evacuated their home, while Woods said: “It tests your soul, losing everything at once”.
