Now in a safer place, Lea told E! News at The Hollywood Reporter's Power 100 Women in Entertainment Breakfast, "It's so crazy because yesterday when there were those duel fires, I had such a strong feeling and then when I woke up this morning-thankfully I woke up early for this event-and when everyone was coming to get me ready, they said we gotta go so I just threw my cat in my bag and I left. [My house is] nearby. I'm someone who doesn't risk anything."
Paris left her house with her pets. "This wild fire in LA is terrifying! My house is now being evacuated to get all of my pets out of there safely," she wrote on Twitter along with a picture of the blaze, before thanking "all the firefighters who are risking their lives to save ours. You are true heroes!"
