Britney Spears confirmed her emergency evacuation from the Los Angeles area on Thursday, joining thousands of residents fleeing devastating wildfires that have swept through multiple California communities.
In an emotional Instagram post, Spears described her challenging escape, noting a four-hour drive to safety and limited communication due to power outages. “I had to evacuate my home,” she shared, expressing concern for others affected by the crisis.
The wildfires, which began Tuesday morning in Pacific Palisades, have rapidly spread across multiple neighborhoods, including Hollywood Hills, Pasadena, Altadena, Sylmar, and Calabasas. Authorities report at least ten fatalities and widespread property destruction.
Several high-profile celebrities have already confirmed significant property losses, including Tina Knowles, Paris HIlton, Mandy Moore, and Jhené Aiko. The fires have consumed approximately 36,365 acres, creating unprecedented challenges for emergency responders.
Local and state emergency services continue to battle the rapidly expanding wildfires, urging residents to follow evacuation orders and prioritize personal safety.
