AceShowbiz - Jessica Simpson has found herself among the evacuees, leaving her $22 million Southern California residence, which once belonged to Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne. The disaster, originating in the West Hills, cast a thick smoke cloud over her backyard.

"We stayed as long as we could," she wrote a caption in a photo of her backyard filled with black smoke from the spreading fire.

Britney Spears, too, shared her distress on Instagram after evacuating from her Hidden Hills mansion. Having spent four hours driving to a hotel amid the chaos, the pop icon revealed her ordeal of being without power for days.

Spears posted a peculiar video of a doll's feet, hoping to lift her fans' spirits despite the turmoil. "I hope you are all doing OK !!! I had to evacuate my home and I'm driving 4 hours to a hotel !!!" she revealed.

"I'm posting these adorable shoes to lift people's spirits !!! Most people may not even be on their phones !!! I wasn't the past two days because I had no electricity to charge and I just got my phone back !!! I pray you're all doing well and I send my love."

Other celebrities are similarly affected. Paris Hilton, a friend of Spears, has seen her Malibu home reduced to rubble, with firestorms fueled by hurricane-force winds wreaking havoc.

Critical resources are being stretched thin, as firefighters struggle to refill water tanks to combat the infernos, their efforts hindered by the extreme conditions and already depleted water pressure.

Authorities have urged residents to heed evacuation orders to stave off the significant threat posed by the fires. LAPD has insisted on the seriousness of the situation, emphasizing the lethality of trying to resist evacuation orders. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office anticipates the death toll, currently at seven, to rise as investigations continue.

Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency, prompting FEMA to allocate crucial resources for fire suppression. Despite the heroic efforts of first responders, who are battling the dual threats of substantial acreage and rampant embers, there appears to be no sign of immediate reprieve. The wind advisory continues to exacerbate the situation, keeping the threat alive and unrestrained across various communities.

The fires have exposed systemic failures in infrastructure and resource management, leading to calls for accountability from city officials, including Mayor Karen Bass. As celebrities and ordinary citizens alike grapple with the devastation, the shared struggle underscores the severity of wildfire threats in Southern California.
