Many stars have had to evacuate their homes, including Mandy Moore, Spencer Pratt, Cameron Mathison and more. Some of their respective properties were even destroyed by the flames.
“I love you, Altadena. Grateful for my family and pets who came out last night before it was too late (and endless thanks to friends who took us in and brought us clothes and blankets),” Moore, 40, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday. “Honestly, I’m in shock and I feel numb for everyone who’s lost, including my family. My children’s school is gone. Our favorite restaurants, ranked. Many friends and loved ones have also lost everything. Our community has been destroyed, but we will be here to rebuild together.”
