As the wildfire continues to ravage California’s Pacific Palisades, many celebrities have had to flee their luxurious homes as authorities warn of an ‘immediate threat to life.’
On Tuesday evening, Los Angeles City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson declared a state of emergency – while warning that the worst of the windstorm is ‘yet to come.’
The apocalyptic inferno has torn through the ritzy neighborhood, home to many A-list celebrities, including Ben Affleck, Jhene Aiko, Tom Hanks, and Miles Teller, among others.
Reality TV star Spencer Pratt, 41, and his wife Heidi Montage, 38, lost their home in Pacific Palisades due to the raging wildfire.
The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that the Getty Villa, a museum designed in the image of an ancient Roman villa, was threatened by the wildfire.
Some of the vegetation on the museum estate had been burned, but the buildings on the campus were reportedly still safe, and the artwork and sculptures had been sealed to prevent smoke damage.
Katherine E. Fleming, the president and chief executive of the J. Paul Getty Trust, boasted in a statement that the Getty Villa had made ‘extensive efforts to clear brush from the surrounding area as part of its fire mitigation efforts throughout the year.’
‘Some trees and vegetation on site have burned, but staff and the collection remain safe,’ she said.

The dry and extremely windy condition have allowed a second fire to start in Altadena further east, which led residents in nearby Pasadena to evacuate.
As Westside residents rushed in a panic to escape at the last minute, numerous people got stuck in enormous traffic jams, including Schitt’s Creek star Eugene Levy.
Many drivers ultimately abandoned their cars in the streets and proceeded on foot, and fire crews were forced to bulldoze rows of cars in order to get into the affected areas.
Stars across Los Angeles are taking to social media to express their devastation over the destructive wildfire.
In response to the life-threatening fire, which has evacuated about 30,000 people as flames threatened more than 10,000 homes, some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Chris Pratt and his mother-in-law, Maria Shriver, are asking for prayers.
‘Please send prayers and strength tonight to everyone in Los Angeles affected by these devastating fires. Los Angeles is in a state of emergency and over 30,000 have been ordered to evacuate,’ Pratt, 45, captioned a slideshow, featuring a photo of a firefighter battling a blaze as well as views of smoke towering over Santa Monica.
He continued: ‘Thank you to the brave firefighters and first responders who are working tirelessly to protect lives, homes, and wildlife as they battle fast-moving wildfire fueled by fierce winds. You are true heroes, and we are endlessly grateful for your sacrifice and courage.’
The Guardians of the Galaxy star, who welcomed his third child with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger in November, urged his 45.2 million followers to ‘come together to support one another during this tough time.’
Shriver, 69, asked her followers to send their ‘prayers to Los Angeles,’ where ‘30,000 people have been ordered to evacuate as wildfires burn out of control.’

‘Almost 1200 acres of land are on fire, with gusts of wind that could reach up to 100 m.p.h., threatening even more damage, forcing more people from their homes, and causing destruction. It’s moments like this that make us recognize what truly matters — that things are only things,’ she stated. ‘Please pay attention if you are asked to evacuate.’
The Former First Lady of California reminded those in Los Angeles to ‘stay informed’ and applauded the men and women of the Los Angeles Fire Department and public officials that were working ‘tirelessly’ to protect their city and keep everyone safe.
Later, she took to her Instagram Story to ask those that are able to ‘leave bowls of water outside’ for wild animals fleeing from the fires.
Her daughter, Katherine, shared a list of helpful apps and resources, including the KTLA App for live updates, Alert LA County for emergency alerts and Notify LA.
Julianne Hough, who lives in Hollywood Hills, shared footage from her backyard, which showed a Canadair CL-415, a yellow airplane that is used to fight forest fires, flying through smoke.
‘Praying for everyone that had to evacuate and for the first responders and firefighters,’ she wrote on the video, uploaded to her Instagram Story.
