Wildfires in Los Angeles have led to mass evacuations as homes are destroyed in a celebrity neighborhood, causing widespread panic and chaos.
Many homes, including those of celebrities like Ben Affleck and Rita Wilson, have been destroyed. People are sharing dramatic photos of the chaos as they rush to safety. Evacuation orders went out fast, and it’s been a real scramble.
California’s Governor Gavin Newsom has been on the ground, seeing the damage firsthand. He declared a state of emergency, saying he saw a lot of homes already gone. The winds are really strong, and the National Weather Service is warning that this could be one of the worst storms Southern California has seen in over a decade.
Newsom pointed out that over 28,000 homes are without power because of the gusts. It’s a serious situation, and he made it clear that they’re not out of danger yet.
Many celebrities are among those who had to evacuate. The Pacific Palisades is a hotspot for stars, with names like Chris Pratt and Reese Witherspoon living there. Other nearby areas like Calabasas are also home to famous faces, including the Kardashians.
As the fires rage, properties from Malibu to Calabasas are being destroyed. Cars are left abandoned as people flee on foot, grabbing whatever they can carry. It’s a heartbreaking scene.
Kelsey Trainor, a local resident, shared her experience. She described how the only road in and out was completely blocked. Ash was falling like snow, and the fire was jumping across the road. People were panicking, trying to get out with their pets and kids. It was a real mess.
