As wildfires continue to spread across the Los Angeles area, several celebrities are taking to social media to share how they have been affected.
“Evacuated and safe with kids, dog and cats. Praying and grateful for the first responders,” Mandy Moore wrote in a Wednesday, January 8, Instagram Story statement. In a follow-up post, she added that her family is “grateful for the kindness of friends that we had a place to land last night.”
Moore — who shares kids Gus, 3, Ozzie, 2, and Lou, 3 months, with her husband, Taylor Goldsmith — continued: “Trying to shield the kids from the immense sadness and worry I feel. Praying for everyone in our beautiful city. So gutted for the destruction and loss. Don’t know if our place made it.”
Santa Ana wind gusts caused fast-burning brush fires to begin on Tuesday, January 7. CNN reported on Wednesday that over 50,000 people were under evacuation orders Tuesday night, with over 30,000 remaining under orders into Wednesday.
Among those evacuated was Mark Hamill, who informed his Instagram followers that he, his wife, Marilou York, and their dog, Trixie, were staying at his daughter Chelsea’s house. “Most horrific fire since ’93 ,” he wrote on Wednesday. “STAY SAFE!”

Spencer Pratt
The Hills alum shared footage of a fire plane working to put out flames via his Instagram on Tuesday, the same day his sister, Stephanie Pratt, confirmed he and his wife, Heidi Montag, had lost their home.
“How horrible for my sweet little nephews to watch their house disappear like this. They must be so scared and confused,” Stephanie, 38, wrote in an Instagram post, referring to the couple’s sons Gunner, 6, and Ryker, 13 months. “I guess the silver lining for me is if my house goes it’s only my stuff- not years of family memories like everyone else in the palisades 🥺. Help me what’s my next move.”
Spencer later shared a security camera snap of one of his son’s rooms via Instagram. “The one positive sign i saw as our house burned down was ours sons bed burned in the shape of a heart,” he wrote. “A sign of how much love was in this house so thankful for all the years.”

Dan Levy
“This is the view from my window this morning,” the Schitt’s Creek alum captioned an Instagram Story snap of the wildfires underneath the rising sun on Wednesday. “Heartbroken for my family, my friends and the people of LA affected by these catastrophic fires.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt
In addition to sharing a screenshot of a news post about the wildfires via Instagram, the 9-1-1 star posted a pic of trees on fire, which she seemingly took from the window of her car.
“I have no words. Only prayers and holding as much hope as I can for our home and our kids while we watch everything burn,” she captioned the post. “Thank you to every first responder fighting so hard for all of us. Thank you to every friend who reached out and new person I have hugged in tears in the last 24 hours.”

Josh Gad
“I have never seen flames from my house like this, ever. This is insanity,” Gad said as he filmed the view out of his home window in a Tuesday Instagram video. “I hope everyone is staying safe tonight. Lots of love. Lots of prayers.”
Alongside the post, he wrote: “I hope everyone is staying safe tonight in the affected fire areas in Los Angeles. My deepest gratitude and appreciation goes out to our brave fire and rescue and police forces who are doing everything in their power to keep the residents of Los Angeles safe right now.”

Sandra Lee
The TV personality shared several videos of flames erupting near her Malibu home via Instagram on Tuesday. “My home in Malibu has got me through some of the darkest moments in my life. I have loved creating it, embellishing it, building it, caring for it, and protecting it. I’ve cherished every moment I have had with it,” she wrote in the heartfelt message. “As the fire draws closer, I pray for it — I pray for everyone in Los Angeles right now. What an incredibly terrifying moment for my community.”
She went on to encourage fans to “stay in contact with each other,” adding, “Community in times like these is our lifeline. We are all safe but the fire is inching closer to my slice of heaven in Malibu. … I am sad but I am sending all my love to all the first responders and firefighters who are literally giving it all they’ve got to keep us safe!!!”

Cameron Mathison
While the actor and TV host informed fans via Instagram that he and his family were “safe,” their home was lost to the wildfires. “This is what’s left of our beautiful home,” he captioned clips of the aftermath. “Our home where our kids were raised and where they wanted to raise their own someday. Thanks to all who reached out and checked in. Can’t respond to all so wanted to give an update here. Sending so many prayers to everyone being affected by these fires🙏🏼.”

James Woods
“The view from one of our security cameras,” the actor captioned an X pic of flames nearing his home. Woods gave fans another update on his home via X after safely evacuating, writing, “All the smoke detectors are going off in our house and transmitting to our iPhones. I couldn’t believe our lovely little home in the hills held on this long. It feels like losing a loved one.”

Paris Hilton
The businesswoman shared a video of herself walking around “what used to be” her home with husband Carter Reum.
“The heartbreak is truly indescribable. When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock — I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces,” Hilton wrote, referring to a previous social media post in which she saw on a live news broadcast that her house had burned to the ground.
“This house wasn’t just a place to live — It was where we dreamed, laughed, and created the most beautiful memories as a family,” she continued. “To see it reduced to ashes … it’s devastating beyond words.”
Hilton added: “What breaks my heart even more is knowing that this isn’t just my story. So many people have lost everything. It’s not just walls and roofs — it’s the memories that made those houses homes. It’s the photos, the keepsakes, the irreplaceable pieces of our lives.”
The reality star noted that she is “incredibly lucky” that her family was safe, which is “the most important thing” right now.
“I’m holding onto that gratitude with everything I have. And beyond grateful to all the fire fighters, first responders and volunteers risking their lives to fight these fires,” Hilton wrote. “To everyone who has sent love, prayers, and kindness — you’ve reminded me that even in the ashes, there is still beauty in this world. Thank you from the deepest part of my heart. And to everyone going through this pain, please know you’re not alone. We’re in this together. We will rebuild, we will heal, and we will rise stronger than before.”

Mandy Moore
“We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now. It’s not livable but mostly intact,” Moore captioned an Instagram post, along with photos of the devastation. “We lost our garage and back house. Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone.”
The actress noted that she feels “survivors guilt” for having some of her house still intact.
“We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support,” she concluded. “Thanks [to] everyone for checking on us and offering us help.”
