Thousands of homes across Los Angeles have been destroyed by the devastating wildfires, including those owned by Paris Hilton, Harrison Ford and Billy Crystal.

Five people have been sadly lost their lives in the blaze, according to officials. It’s reported over 1,000 homes have been destroyed and more than 70,000 people evacuated. One of the areas hardest hit is the Pacific Palisades, an affluent Los Angeles neighbourhood that is the home to many high profile A-listers, including Mandy Moore, Anthony Hopkins and Jamie Lee Curtis, all of whom have lost their homes in the unfolding carnage.

The wildfires are still raging on and some celebrities are returning to their homes to see the heartbreaking damaged caused. Star Wars icon Harrison Ford somberly looked on as he returned to his neighbourhood while actor Ashton Kutcher offered a hand to friends affected by the devastation.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have also spoken out – urging the followers to offer support. The Duke and Duchess live in Montecito, California, with fires burning just 60 miles away in Malibu. In a statement, the couple said: “In the last few days, wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighborhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centers, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life.A state of emergency has been issued. If you feel compelled to help, here are some resources and ideas.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continued: “If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do. And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating. Some families and people have been left with nothing. Please consider donating clothing, children’s toys & clothing, and other essentials. The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.”

They currently risk having the power to their mansion cut off due to the ongoing fires. Firefighters are continuing to tackle the blazes as thousands of people flee the areas to seek safety. Electricity companies around Montecito, where the couple have lived in a “high fire risk” property since 2020, suggested on Wednesday that shut downs of power were possible. This raised the prospect of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex having to move to safety with their two young children.
