Los Angeles: Wildfires raging across Los Angeles have forced the evacuation of more than 30,000 people, including several Hollywood celebrities. The Pacific Palisades neighborhood, home to many film and music stars, has been hit the hardest, with flames engulfing luxury homes and hillsides.

Actor Steve Guttenberg shared his concerns, urging residents to prioritize safety over property. Actor James Woods evacuated his home and expressed uncertainty about its fate, highlighting the fire's unpredictable nature.

The fires have already destroyed several homes and scorched 3,000 acres in Pacific Palisades. Roads remain clogged with abandoned vehicles as residents scramble to escape the fast-moving flames. Emergency shelters have been set up to accommodate evacuees.

The Getty Villa, a museum housing priceless art, narrowly avoided disaster as nearby bushes had been trimmed in advance. Meanwhile, Malibu and Santa Monica are under evacuation orders, with reports of burn victims seeking aid in local establishments.

California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency, and President Joe Biden has offered federal support. Firefighting efforts continue, with aircraft dropping water and bulldozers clearing paths for emergency vehicles.

As Hollywood stars flee the city, the wildfires serve as a stark reminder of the region's vulnerability to extreme weather conditions.
