As wildfires continue to spread across Los Angeles, including the Pacific Palisades area, a new blaze erupted in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday night, leading to mandatory evacuation orders for residents. This fire, called the Sunset Fire, was reported near Runyon Canyon, a popular hiking location for locals and visitors alike. The Hollywood Hills region is known for its iconic attractions, such as the Hollywood sign and Griffith Park.
Many residents in Hollywood Hills, including notable figures like comedian Dane Cook, have been forced to evacuate as the flames encroached upon their homes. Cook shared an update on social media, stating, “We had to leave Hollywood… this is really scary. Unbelievable.” His family managed to safely escape with their pets.
Other celebrities, like Chrissy Teigen, expressed their fear and concern as they packed their belongings, while Chrishell Stause from “Selling Sunset” informed her followers that she had also evacuated the area.
The Palisades Fire, which ignited earlier this week, has prompted many public figures to take to social media, recounting their personal experiences with the devastating effects of the fires. Legendary actor Billy Crystal and his wife Janice lost their home of 46 years. They shared their heartbreak, saying, “Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing.” The couple reflected on their many cherished family memories within their home, emphasizing their determination to support each other and their community during this difficult time.
In a particularly shocking moment, Paris Hilton watched her Malibu residence burn on live television. She expressed her devastation, describing the home as a place filled with precious memories, including those of her family. Hilton pledged to support local communities affected by the fires through her organization.
Many others have faced similar losses, including Ricki Lake and Brad Paisley, highlighting the widespread impact of these wildfires on the community in the region. As firefighters work tirelessly to control the blazes, the resilience of those affected shines through in their messages of hope and solidarity.
