Billy Crystal loses home, Jamie Lee Curtis cries, celebs evacuate amid Los Angeles fires

A series of raging fires in Los Angeles are disrupting the Southern California landscape, including pushing residents — and some celebrities — to evacuate.

 

 

Powerful Santa Ana winds have whipped up several wildfires across LA County since Tuesday, killing at least five people and setting scorching more 27,000 acres across the region ablaze, according to Cal Fire. Winds ease slightly overnight Wednesday, but forecasters warned conditions will remain critical through at least Thursday.

The Palisades Fire in the coastal Pacific Palisades community between Santa Monica and Malibu and the Eaton Fire, located east in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, remained the largest blazes Thursday with 0% containment. The Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills became a fresh threat as well, moving fast and looming over iconic Los Angeles landmarks as more evacuation orders set in.

Tinseltown is also feeling the brunt of the fiery conditions.

On Tuesday, movie premieres were canceled due to “safety concerns around heightened wind activity and fire outbreaks,” and come Wednesday, more event cancellations were announced as other celebrities reported they had lost their homes entirely.

Jamie Lee Curtis, in an appearance on “The Tonight Show” Wednesday, got emotional speaking about the blazes near her home.

“As you know, where I live is on fire right now. The entire city of Pacific Palisades is burning,” she told host Jimmy Fallon. “I flew here last night, I was on the plane, started getting texts and it’s … gnarly, you guys. It’s just a catastrophe in Southern California.”

Curtis teared up describing the devastation. “Many, many, many friends now have lost their homes,” she said, “So it’s a really awful situation.”
