California wildfire: Miley Cyrus, Gerard Butler, Camille Grammer lose homes to blaze as death toll reaches 31
California has been ravaged by three devastating wildfires, two in the south and one in the north, which has forced nearly a quarter of a million people to evacuate their homes and has left at least 31 people dead.
Reports state that as of Sunday morning, the fire in the northern part of the state, called the Camp Fire, burned through nearly 109,000 acres of land and only 25 percent of the blaze has been contained by the firefighters yet. While The Hill Fire, located just a few miles away from the California bar shooting, which claimed the lives of 12 people, had burned through 4,531 acres by Sunday, according to PEOPLE.
Reports state that multiple celebrities were also affected by the blaze, although some celebrities including Kourtney Kardashian and Alyssa Milano were lucky enough to have their homes intact in the blaze, others like Miley Cyrus and Gerard Butler found theirs in flames.
Singer Miley Cyrus took to Twitter on Monday to share an emotional message, revealing that she had lost her home in the fire and urged people to donate funds to emergency services battling the blaze.
While Gerard Butler, after returning to his Malibu home on Sunday, shared a picture on Twitter of him standing next to the burnt down remains of his home after it was ravaged in the fire over the weekend.
"Returned to my house in Malibu after evacuating. Heartbreaking time across California. Inspired as ever by the courage, spirit and sacrifice of firefighters. Thank you @LAFD,” he wrote. “If you can, support these brave men and women at http://SupportLAFD.org.” Butler wrote.Singer-songwriter Robin Thicke's pregnant girlfriend, April Love Geary, also shared the image of the couple's burnt down home in Malibu on Instagram. “Our house is gone,” Love Geary wrote while sharing an image that appeared to show the gate of their home amongst the charred debris.
Thicke also shared an image of smoke billowing from a house where the couple lived and wrote: "Our home is just to the left! Praying," he also thanked the "courageous firefighters and volunteers” for their help."
Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer also took to social media to share the image of her house engulfed in flames. “Sadly my house couldn’t be saved,” she wrote on Instagram.
“The courageous firefighters were able to save my cars and personal items recovered from my home. I thanked the fire captain and his team of fireman for all of their hard work,” she wrote. “Sad we lost our home but grateful that my family is safe. Luckily we quickly evacuated our house yesterday after a patrol car drove up the street announcing mandatory evacuations. I’m grateful for my lovely neighbors and friends who kept me informed and for their help this evening,” she added. “Thank you all for caring.”
