On Wednesday a ferocious new wildfire erupted in the Hollywood Hills – sparking a mass evacuation of the iconic Hollywood Boulevard amid warnings that another 100,000 residents should be prepared to evacuate their homes.

The hellish, fast-moving inferno sweeping through the Hills triggered the urgent evacuation order at 6pm local time on Wednesday – impacting at least 50 acres already near Runyon Canyon.

Meanwhile in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood the homes of Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, Miles Teller, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are among those destroyed, while dozens of other stars now face an anxious wait alongside their neighbors to learn if anything could be saved.

Apocalyptic fires tore through the ritzy enclave of Pacific Palisades on Tuesday and Wednesday, rapidly spreading to surrounding suburbs as a windstorm carried embers and debris in all directions.

Residents fled and then waited with bated breath to learn more about their homes, as news began trickling out that entire streets had been wiped off the map, firefighters were running out of water, and resources were being diverted to fight the fire on multiple fronts.

Now, the widespread devastation is becoming clearer as celebrities share their devastation upon discovering they’ve lost their million-dollar mansions.

The Pacific Palisades fire is not just destroying mansions belonging to the rich and famous, it is also burning up top restaurants.

The Reel Inn in Malibu went up in flames on Tuesday. The seaside restaurant was famous as it was featured on the TV shows The Chew and Man vs. Food.

Also at risk is the tony Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. That is where Rihanna and A$AP Rocky often dine.

The Getty Villa, a historic museum in Malibu, is also now at risk from the ongoing wildfires.
