Among the evacuees are several Hollywood celebrities, who have taken to social media campaigns to share updates, express gratitude for California firefighters, and raise awareness about the disaster.

He wrote: “7 P.M personal fire update: evacuated Malibu so last minute there were small fires on both sides of the road as we approached PCH.” Later, he reassured fans that he safely evacuated to his daughter’s house in Hollywood, calling it the “most horrific fire since ’93.”
  • Celebrity chef Sandra Lee posted terrifying videos of the Malibu fires engulfing the coastline. She wrote: “My home in Malibu has got me through some of the darkest moments in my life. I’ve loved creating it, embellishing it, building it, caring for it, and protecting it. As the fire draws closer, I pray for it. I pray for everyone in Los Angeles right now.”
