Thousands of residents have already fled various California counties for their own safety. Multimillion-dollar homes are at risk of being destroyed, as hundreds of structures already have been. Lea Michele told E! News that she evacuated so as not to “risk anything.” “It’s so crazy because yesterday there were those duel fires, I had such a strong feeling and then when I woke up this morning… and when everyone was coming to get me ready, they said we gotta go so I just threw my cat in my bag and I left.”

Paris Hilton also tweeted about having to leave her house. “This wild fire in LA is terrifying! My house is now being evacuated to get all of my pets out of there safely. Thank you to all the firefighters who are risking their lives to save ours. You are true heroes!” she said. Her post also contained a video of the fire as seen from a highway, that has been highly shared online.

Ariana Grande‘s mother Joan and brother Frankie also added to the news. “For the first time in my life I have had to evacuate my home… my heart is breaking for all the Californians so sadly affected by the fires!” Joan wrote. “We are out & safe. Thank you to @LAFD for getting us up & alerting us to the evacuation so early & efficiently,” Frankie Grande said. “My thoughts & prayers are with everyone affected by these fires. I pray all our homes & families continue to be safe as the fires rage on…” Frankie added.

Chelsea Handler was also made to leave her home, and Lionel Richie had to cancel an upcoming show. It’s been reported that Rupert Murdoch‘s home has also been affected by the fires.

Many others have been tweeting their prayers for those affected by the fires. Mariah Carey, Kim Kardashian West, Chrissy Teigen, LeAnn Rimes, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Cher have all posted in this vein.
