The Los Angeles wildfires have killed five people and destroyed over 2000 structures in less than 24 hours including the family homes of the likes of Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Anna Faris, and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

The Palisades Fire began on Tuesday January 7 and forced evacuation of at least 30,000 residents in the affluent community where many Hollywood A-listers live.

Many Hollywood celebs are among the hundreds of LA residents whose homes have burnt down in the raging Pacific Palisades wildfires.

Cary Elwes, the star of The Princess Bride and numerous other films, wrote on Instagram Wednesday that his family was safe, but their home had burned in the coastal Palisades fire. “Sadly, we did lose our home, but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire,” Elwes wrote.

Paris Hilton posted a news video clip on Instagram and said it included footage of her destroyed home in Malibu. “This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London,” she said, referencing her young children.

“The devastation is unimaginable. To know so many are waking up today without the place they called home is truly heartbreaking,” she wrote.

Footage from TMZ showed Leighton Meester's $6.5 million LA mansion was also destroyed in the wildfire, as was Black Eyed Peas' singer Fergie's home.

Stars who have evacuated due to Palisades fire

Jamie Lee Curtis said Wednesday on Instagram that her family is safe, but she suggested her neighbourhood and possibly her home is on fire. She said many of her friends lost their homes. “It's a terrifying situation, and I'm grateful to the firefighters and all of the good Samaritans who are helping people get out of the way of the blaze.”

Mandy Moore said her family evacuated too and has since tried to shield her kids from the “immense sadness and worry” that she currently feels. “So gutted for the destruction and loss,” she posted in her Instagram story. “Don't know if our place made it.”

Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, Fergie, Anna Faris, Anthony Hopkins, and John Goodman also reported losing their homes as the devastating fire rages in Los Angeles.
