Two wildfires currently burning through Southern California have forced thousands of people in the area to flee their homes for safety, including many high-profile celebrities.
A combination of high winds and low humidity have caused the brush fires to spread rapidly, CNN reported.
One, dubbed the Woolsey Fire, covers 7,5000 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties and has caused the evacuation of 30,000 homes, CNN reported. Another, the Hill Fire, has spread over 10,000 acres in the Newbury Park area — blocks away from the Thousand Oaks bar where 12 people were killed in a mass shooting on Wednesday.
Among the stars affected are Who’s The Boss star and #MeToo activist Alyssa Milano, 45, who told fans on Twitter, “I just had to evacuate my home from the fires. I took my kids, dogs, computer and my Doc Marten boots.”
Rainn Wilson (The Office), 52, and Eddie McClintock (Bones), 51, were also affected.
“Please send your prayers to the people of Thousand Oaks and the victims of the shooting that are now having to evacuate their homes and neighborhoods,” Wilson tweeted. “Then send them some cash.”
McClintock was forced to leave Old Agoura. “Things just got real,” he wrote. “Damn.”
“Thank you to everyone for the well wishes,” he added nearly an hour later. “We have evacuated our home, and have found a hotel in West Hollywood. So much respect for these firefighters. They are a rare breed. Sending out love and safety to all those effected.”
The Kardashians were also in harm’s way.
Kim Kardashian West had just flown back to her Hidden Hills property when she found that that Calabasas was under threat from the Woolsey Fire. After sharing photos of the fire from the seat of her private jet, the 38-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star told fans she had one hour “to pack up and evacuate our home.”
“I pray everyone is safe,” Kim said, later sharing a photo of her and her three kids (North, 5, Saint, 2, and Chicago, 9 months) sitting outside on the pavement in their pajamas.
Kourtney Kardashian, 39, fled for safety too — updating her fans on Instagram Stories. “I pray that everyone is kept safe and protected from these fires,” she captioned a photo of her car trunk, packed with her belongings. “No Calabasas tonight.”

Meanwhile, siblings Khloé Kardashian, 34, and Rob Kardashian, 31, hunkered down together with their respective daughters, True Thompson, 6 months, and Dream Kardashian (who turns 2 on Saturday).
“Saying prayers and thanking all of the brave firefighters who risk their lives for us ❤️❤️” Khloé tweeted.
The new mom didn’t exactly get rest. “I can not sleep! I am too nervous with these fires 🙏🏽 ” she wrote early Friday, explaining, later, “The flames have jumped the 101!! I need an evacuation update please!”

Friday morning, Lady Gaga revealed on Instagram that she too evacuated her home. In a video posted to her Instagram Stories, the A Star Is Born actress was seen packing up her things as smoke clouds hovered over her property.
“Sending my prayers to everyone today,” Gaga, 32, wrote.
Gaga later wrote on Twitter, “I am thinking so deeply for everyone who is suffering today from these abominable fires & grieving the loss of their homes or loved ones. I’m sitting here with man of you wondering if my home will burst into flames. All we can do is pray together & for each other. God Bless You.
Will Smith also gave an update on Friday saying he was about 8 miles away from the fire and hadn’t been asked to evacuate.



However, in a video on his Instagram Stories, he said “We are prepared to evacuate as soon as we get the word.”
A few hours later Smith, 50, told his Instagram followers that he and his family are no evacuating as the smoke appeared to be closer to their property. “We are not in the evacuation gone, but I don’t like it. We are going to go,” Smith added.
In addition to the two wildfires burning in Southern California, an intense brush fire broke out in Northern California, causing thousands to evacuate, according to The Weather Channel. It’s being called the “Camp Fire.”
The Butte County Sheriff’s Office told the Associated Press that the entire town of Paradise was ordered to evacuate. That’s about 40,000 residents.
The Weather Channel also reports several people have been injured and a number of businesses and homes have gone up in flames.
So far, the Camp Fire has burned through 20,000 acres, CNN reported.
