The Pacific Palisades wildfire has destroyed the homes of beloved celebrities Billy Crystal, John Goodman, and Eugene Levy, leaving their once-luxurious properties in ashes. Video footage shows the devastation, with nothing remaining but smoking rubble. These losses come as thousands of residents in the area continue to evacuate, seeking refuge in nearby hotels already at full capacity.
The wildfire, which began as an out-of-control brush fire, has displaced at least 70,000 people and obliterated over 1,000 buildings. Meanwhile, other stars, including Mandy Moore, Whitney Cummings, and Cameron Mathison, were forced to flee their homes from a separate blaze above Pasadena. The fires have left a trail of destruction across Southern California, with no immediate end in sight.
In addition to their personal losses, the affected celebrities join a growing list of high-profile individuals grappling with the emotional and financial toll of these wildfires. Displaced residents, including many in the entertainment industry, have banded together to support recovery efforts while dealing with their own uncertainties.
These fires highlight the vulnerability of even the wealthiest neighborhoods to natural disasters, sparking conversations about preparedness, environmental policy, and the future of communities in fire-prone regions.
