Martin lost, then found on beach

Actor Charlie Sheen pleaded on social media for help finding his parents on Friday night among the 200,000 people fleeing the devastating Woolsey fire. Hours later, Martin and Janet Sheen were found safe on a Malibu beach by a local news crew.

“I cannot get ahold of my parents,” Charlie tweeted as the Woolsey fire raged from Thousand Oaks to Malibu, packing Pacific Coast Highway and surrounding areas with panicked evacuees. “If anyone has eyes on them, please let me know that they are safe and sound in the middle of this horrific scenario.”

A KTTV-TV news crew found the West Wing actor on the beach where many local evacuees had gathered. Many had trouble contacting loved ones due to poor cellphone reception.

“We evacuated early this morning from Point Dume around 9:30, and we’ve been here ever since,” Martin told the station. He also relayed an on-air message to his family: “Emilio, Ramon, Renee, Charlie, we’re fine, we’re at Zuma Beach and we’re probably going to sleep in the car tonight,” he said.

The Sheens have called Malibu home for more than 40 years.
