The devastating Palisades Fire in Los Angeles is threatening one of the city’s most exclusive areas, home to several A-list celebrities. Pacific Palisades residents, including Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon, Steven Spielberg, and Ben Affleck, are facing the terrifying prospect of losing their homes. Chet Hanks, Tom Hanks’ son, expressed heartbreak on Instagram, calling the fire’s destruction a nightmare, while Mark Hamill recounted evacuating Malibu with his neighbors, saying they were “fleeing for our lives.”
Celebrities like Eugene Levy of Schitt’s Creek fame were among the 30,000 forced to evacuate, and some stars have already lost everything. Reality TV couple Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag confirmed their home was destroyed, leaving them devastated.
As the fire rages on, with high winds fueling its spread, the Palisades has become an all-out disaster zone. The luxurious neighborhood, home to countless high-profile figures, now faces an uncertain future, as the fate of many properties remains unknown.
This wildfire adds to the region’s ongoing challenges, with thousands of residents and first responders bracing for what lies ahead.
