The actor added, “I’m heartbroken at the devastation around us & grateful to god 🙏that we are safe as of now. My thoughts & prayers to people that are displaced & have lost everything in these fires. Hope the wind dies down soon & the fires are contained. A big thank you 🙏 to the fire department, fire fighters & everyone else helping to save lives & property. Stay safe everyone ❤️.”

Earlier, Nora Fatehi, who was also in LA, shared a video on her Instagram story and wrote, “I’ve never seen anything like this. This is insane. We just got an evacuation order like five minutes ago. So, I quickly packed all my stuff and I’m evacuating out of here, out of this area. I’m going to go near the airport and stay there, because I have a flight today and I really hope I can catch it. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled because this s**t is scary. I have never experienced this before.”
Priyanka Chopra Jonas also lives in LA with her singer husband Nick Jonas, and daughter Malti Marie. She shared a series of photos and videos after the LA fire broke out. “My thoughts are with everyone. I hope we are all able to be safe tonight,” wrote Priyanka.
