James Woods
US actor James Woods captured some terrifying footage of the wildfire that is ripping through Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles wreaking havoc.
“We were blessed to have LA fire and police depts doing their jobs so well,” Woods wrote. “We are safe and out. There are several elementary schools in our neighbourhood and there was an enormous community effort to evacuate the children safely.”
He also spoke of the “chaos” of evacuating his home, saying he helped an elderly neighbour with dementia leave their property. “It was like an inferno. Every house was on fire around us.”
Numerous other stars have also been evacuated, but so far their homes are though to be safe.
They include A-list actors such as Chris Pratt, Reese Witherspoon and Ben Affleck.
Affleck was forced to evacuate from the $US20.5 million mansion he purchased just five months ago following his split from Jennifer Lopez.
Royal expats Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are also in the brink of being evacuated from their nine-bedroom property in Montecito – a two-hour drive from Pacific Palisades which has been devastated by the fires.
Some celebrities are even jumping in to the fighting effort with Ashton Kutcher spotted at a friend’s home with a hose attempting to extinguish flames on Wednesday local time.
As four different wildfires are ravaging across the Los Angeles area with about 100,000 people now under evacuation orders.
At least 28,000 structures are believed to be threatened by the fires, with now five people confirmed dead. More than 1000 structures have already been destroyed.
The biggest inferno, known with the Palisades fire, rapidly spread to 500 acres — fanned by gusty winds and dry conditions — in the Santa Monica Mountains.
The blaze is expected to intensify as a major wind storm with gusts up to 160km/h fans the flames.
Fire chief’s plea
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power chief executive Janisse Quinones pleaded with people to save water, after hydrants in Pacific Palisades ran dry overnight.
She said three million-gallon tanks used to supply the neighbourhood’s more than 20,000 residents were exhausted by 3am on Wednesday.
“I need our customers to really conserve water … because the fire department needs the water to fight the fires,” Ms Quinones said.
“We’re fighting a wildfire with urban water systems, and that is really challenging.”
