Description
Stars including Mandy Moore, Mark Hamill and James Woods have been evacuated from their homes in the Los Angeles district of Pacific Palisades as wildfires rip through the area.
The neighborhood is dotted with celebrity residences and memorialized by the Beach Boys in their 1960s hit “Surfin’ USA.” Stars who have homes there include Adam Sandler, Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, Billy Crystal and Steven Spielberg.
30,000 residents were under evacuation orders and more than 13,000 structures were under threat.
In the frantic rush to get to safety, roadways became impassable when scores of people abandoned their vehicles and fled on foot, some toting suitcases.
Mandy Moore wrote on Instagram that she was praying for the first responders.
Mark Hamill called the wildfires the "most horrific" since 1993.
