TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIRAL VIDEO:
Priyanka Chopra, also based in Los Angeles, shared a video of the flames engulfing hills near her mansion. In her post, she sent her thoughts to everyone affected by the wildfires and thanked the rescue workers and fire departments for their efforts in battling the blaze.
The wildfires have caused widespread devastation, destroying over 1,000 structures and forcing more than 130,000 residents to evacuate. Several major fires are raging and not yet controlled; firefighters from adjacent states are trying to subdue the infernos. Among these, one in Pacific Palisades is reportedly the most devastating, having already scorched over 15,000 acres and remains mostly uncontrolled. This tony neighborhood houses a number of Hollywood stars, whose property has been damaged by the wildfire.
The fires have affected a number of well-known figures; many celebrities were forced to leave their homes, and some have lost them entirely. Actors like Mark Hamill, Mandy Moore, and James Woods were among the evacuees. According to reports, Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, and Anthony Hopkins have lost their homes. Furthermore, homes of other celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Keaton, and Tom Hanks are also at risk, while Ben Affleck is said to have left his $20 million home in search of a safe haven with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner as the flames approached.
The wildfire impact goes even further up to Hollywood because the wildfires prevented big events in town and massive productions. They rescheduled their Critics’ Choice Awards, stopped shooting Grey’s Anatomy and other productions, Abbott Elementary among them, due to the current calamity.
