There are currently at least 16 wildfires burning across California. The Getty Fire broke out on Sunday afternoon, and several other celebrities have used social media to confirm they’ve evacuated safely.
Sons of Anarchy and Mayans M.C. creator Kurt Sutter shared a video Sunday on Instagram of the fire burning with the caption, “Evacuated… Apparently, everything around me is burning the f— down. Rough week.”
On Monday morning, actor and former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger tweeted, “We evacuated safely at 3:30 this morning. If you are in an evacuation zone, don’t screw around. Get out. Right now I am grateful for the best firefighters in the world, the true action heroes who charge into the danger to protect their fellow Californians.”
Lakers star LeBron James was also forced out of his L.A. home. “Man these LA [fires] aren’t no joke. Had to emergency evacuate my house and I’ve been driving around with my family trying to get rooms. No luck so far!,” he wrote.
“Finally found a place to accommodate us! Crazy night man! I [pray] for all the families in the area that could be affected by these [fires] now!,” he continued in follow-up tweets. “Pretty please get to safety ASAP. My best wishes as well to the first responders right now doing what they do best!”
