TOWIE star, Liam 'Gatsby' Blackwell, has been forced to flee his LA home amid the devastating wildfires in California. Mass evacuations have seen thousands of people forced to leave their homes in recent days, and more than a 1000 buildings and structures have been totally destroyed – with a number of people reported to have tragically lost their lives already, in fires Paris Hilton said looked like "hell" on earth.
Taking to Instagram sharing a video of a blazing fire in the Hollywood hills, surrounded by sirens and a helicopter, Liam, 29, who made his debut on TOWIE in 2015, told followers he'd had to evacuate his home as the ferocious flames took hold. Speculating that the fires were due to arson or a "planned attack", he said: "This is outta control!! This has to be a planned attack or some of these fires have to be arson—doesn’t make sense how they can keep starting in random areas! Just got a text to evacuate!! Please God, make the house and everyone else stay safe Big up all the Firefighters!!!!".
Telling his followers he left his home in West Hollywood on Friday to join his family at their home in West Hills, Liam then panned his camera to show a raging fire under the midday sun, which had "just started" as he admits: "This is crazy.". A whole host of celebrities have taken to social media, revealing that they have lost their homes in the wildfires. More than 130,000 people have been evacuated since Wednesday, with relentless flames spreading by high winds of up to 100mph, which initially stopped the firefighters from tackling them from the air.
