HOLLYWOOD STARS LEAVE BLAZING MANSIONS
Hollywood stars fled as wildfires raged through the celebrity enclave of Malibu Saturday, burning multimillion-dollar mansions and leaving apocalyptic scenes of destruction worthy of a blockbuster film.
Malibu is home to
13,000 wealthy residents, including some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
Charlie Sheen, the actor, launched an appeal to find his father Martin Sheen, who lives in Malibu and could not be contacted.
The older Sheen later turned up at a beach evacuation spot.
Addressing his son via a television camera Martin Sheen said: “We’re fine, we’re at Zuma Beach and we’re probably going to sleep in the car tonight.”
Lady Gaga was also evacuated. Photographs showed smoke swirling around her mansion.
Will Smith posted videos online of the fire approaching his home and said he was evacuating his family. “Our house is there ... and the fire is right there,” he said.
The home of Caitlyn Jenner, America’s most famous transgender person, reportedly burned down. She said: “I don’t know if the house made it or not, it’s still up in the air.”
Kim Kardashian, the reality television star, and her family were evacuated from nearby Calabasas.
Flames tore through Paramount Ranch, destroying a Western town used as a film set for cowboy films and TV shows since the Twenties.
