The Kardashian-Jenner clan also took to social media to share their experiences.
Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West reportedly hired private firefighters to help save homes in their Hidden Hills neighbourhood.
"I heard the flames have hit our property at our home in Hidden Hills but now are more contained and have stopped at the moment. It doesn’t seems like it is getting worse right now, I just pray the winds are in our favor. God is good. I’m just praying everyone is safe," she wrote on Twitter.

I am thinking so deeply for everyone who is suffering today from these abominable fires & grieving the loss of their homes or loved ones. I’m sitting here with many of you wondering if my home will burst into flames. All we can do is pray together & for each other. God Bless You.
