Celebrities Flee Malibu

On Friday, thousands fled from their homes including celebrities Kim Kardashian, Alyssa Milano and Melissa Etheridge as a fast-moving wildfire forced evacuations from the celebrity-packed area. Reuters reports Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro tweeted that he had abandoned his vast “Bleak House” museum collection of fantasy and horror memorabilia, while singer Etheridge said she had moved into a hotel due to the fire. Fire officials report, the entire 12,000 population of Malibu, which stretches 27 miles along the Pacific Ocean in Southern California and up into the Santa Monica mountains, was placed under mandatory evacuation on Friday as the Woolsey fire exploded overnight and jumped a freeway.
