Wildfires fueled by strong winds ravaged the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, prompting evacuations for many celebrities, including Mark Hamill, Mandy Moore, and James Woods. The fires destroyed homes, blocked roadways, and strained resources as tens of thousands fled the area. The Pacific Palisades, known for its celebrity residences, suffered significant damage as flames jumped Sunset Boulevard and scorched parts of Palisades Charter High School.
Wildfires that ripped through the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles forced many Hollywood stars, including Mark Hamill, Mandy Moore and James Woods, to evacuate their homes.
The Pacific Palisades neighborhood is a hillside area along the coast dotted with celebrity residences and memorialized by the Beach Boys in their 1960s hit “Surfin’ USA.” In the frantic haste to get to safety, roadways became impassable when scores of people abandoned their vehicles and fled on foot, some toting suitcases.
The fire burned down Temescal Canyon, a popular hiking area surrounded by dense neighborhoods of multimillion-dollar homes. Flames jumped famous Sunset Boulevard and burned parts of the Palisades Charter High School, which has been featured in many Hollywood productions including the 1976 horror movie “Carrie,” the 2003 remake of “Freaky Friday” and the TV series “Teen Wolf.”
“Standing in my driveway, getting ready to evacuate,” Woods said in the short video on X. Later, he added: “It tests your soul, losing everything at once, I must say.”
