Weather conditions were forecast to improve this week in Southern California, aiding firefighters in their battle against a wind-driven wildfire that's forced up to 20,000 people -- including performers Cher, Dick Van Dyke and his wife -- from their homes.
Much of the devastation occurred in Malibu, a community of about 10,000 people on the western edge of Los Angeles renowned for its stunning scenery of seaside bluffs and Zuma Beach featured in Hollywood films. Flames burned near celebrities' seaside mansions, horse farms and Pepperdine University, where some 3,000 students were forced to shelter in place on campus. Many evacuated their dorms to the library through smoke and ash as flames roared in the canyon nearby.
Many major fires have burned in Malibu, and there's now a familiar cycle where once-lush vegetation is charred.Van Dyke, one of many celebrities with homes in Malibu, said he and his wife, Arlene Silver, had evacuated as the fire swept in. The actor turns 99 on Friday. "Arlene and I have safely evacuated with our animals except for Bobo escaped as we were leaving," said Van Dyke, referring to one of their cats.
