Hollywood stars Tom Hanks and Ben Affleck flee their homes as wildfires threaten Los Angeles, prompting mass evacuations.
Los Angeles: Wildfires are causing chaos in the city, and it’s not just the locals feeling the heat. Celebrities are being told to get out fast!
Flames are tearing through Pacific Palisades, and the winds are making things worse. Emergency crews are working hard to control the fire, but it’s a tough battle.
Tom Hanks and Ben Affleck are among those who’ve had to leave their homes. Can you believe it? Other stars like Reese Witherspoon and Adam Sandler are also in the same boat.
James Woods even shared some wild footage of the flames on Instagram while he was evacuating. It’s a real mess out there!
The fire started Tuesday night and has spread like crazy. People are abandoning their cars and running for safety as roads get blocked.
Firefighters are struggling to keep up. They say the fire is moving at a rate of five football fields a minute! That’s insane!
They’ve been dropping water from planes, but the weather is making it hard. Visibility is low, and they had to ground the aircraft.
And it’s not just the homes that are at risk. The fire has already destroyed several properties and even led to the cancellation of Hollywood premieres.
Affleck was seen looking pretty down after checking on his place before leaving. He’s been renting in Pacific Palisades since his split from J.Lo.
With around 30,000 residents under evacuation orders, it’s a serious situation. The fire near Eaton Canyon has already grown to 600 acres!
LA’s fire chief said the blaze is now over 1,260 acres and still spreading. The winds and dry brush are making it even tougher for the firefighters.
There are about 250 firefighters on the scene, but the movie industry is feeling the impact too. The premiere of the Robbie Williams biopic was canceled because of the fires.
Paramount Pictures announced the cancellation, urging everyone to stay safe and follow local guidance. It’s a tough time for everyone in LA.
Even the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee announcement has been called off for safety reasons. It’s all hands on deck as the city deals with this crisis.
