Celebrities flee as Los Angeles fires raze luxury homes
Photos of the fires in Los Angeles are sending chills of terror. Thousands of people have been evacuated, and many have lost their homes, such as the actor John Goodman, who had a beautiful white house just two days ago.
Since 7 January, firefighters in Los Angeles have been battling massive fires engulfing several city neighbourhoods, particularly in Pacific Palisades. As a result of the raging fires, many have lost their homes, including Anthony Hopkins, Paris Hilton, Adam Brody, and Anna Faris—we showed the remains of her home in a previous article. The scale of destruction is not yet fully assessed, as the fire is still raging. The media are filled with reports of other celebrities who no longer have their homes, like John Goodman, an actor from the film "The Big Lebowski."
John Goodman's home turned into a pile of ashes
The fires in Pacific Palisades destroyed the actor's white house in Los Angeles. Photos show that nothing remains of the residence, not even the pool in the garden. Goodman bought this property in 2008 for £3.7 million. Below, you can see the scope of the destruction and how the house looked just before the fire outbreak in the area.
Fires destroying celebrities' homes
According to the "Daily Mail," it is unknown whether Goodman was recently living in this residence, as he mainly stays in New Orleans with his wife Anna Beth. Other stars, such as Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, and Anna Faris, also lost their homes due to the fires. There is no doubt that they lived in these properties with their families.
The fire is engulfing more areas, as seen in the footage published by stars from Los Angeles. The fire threatens homes and important community places, such as the Getty Villa, a historical museum in Malibu. This place is known for its collection of ancient art and beautiful gardens. Many events had to be cancelled, including film premieres of "Unstoppable" with Jennifer Lopez and "Better Man" by Robbie Williams. The announcement of the SAG Awards nominations took place online, while the announcement of the Oscar nominations was postponed by a few days.
Many celebrities, including Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, and Mandy Moore, had to evacuate their luxurious properties. The fires have already burned almost 3,000 hectares and destroyed dozens of homes, threatening the entire city of Los Angeles.
