can’t believe this....it makes me so emotional looking at these photographs taken in the past two days. our beautiful Malibu looks so sad today. malibu is such a connected, loving community with families that have lived there for 30+ years. Many of them growing up together raising children together for so many decades making so many memories... I can’t even imagine how you all are feeling back home having to evacuate...im so sorry that you have to watch this happen right in front of you- Im sure it is the most painful thing in the world. my heart is so broken I am so sorry to every single person that lost their homes, and I hope we can come up with something very soon to help... as you can see- horses and other animals are being brought to beaches because there is no way to get out of Malibu anymore...I added a few places you can evacuate your animals to if anyone that needs help is reading this... I can’t imagine having to leave my horses behind..I feel so helpless right now ... thank you to all of the incredible fire fighters in Malibu and from the valley who are working so hard in danger for the community. You are so incredible And we salute you Bless 🦋

9. Mandy Moore

I’m reposting @tropicalijaye here (thanks for doing the legwork, friend) as I’m sitting here watching the news dumbfounded with my in-laws who had to evacuate from Malibu. All people, wildlife and firefighters/first responders are on my mind and in my heart. More than 250,000 residents have been evacuated and so far it has consumed 35,000 acres - at 0% containment. It all feels so helpless but there are many ways to help if you feel inspired to. 1. go to www.vccf.org and donate to the ventura county community foundation. 2. go to www.hsvc.org and donate to the humane society of ventura county. 3. visit the red cross website and donate there or call 1-800-REDCROSS. #woolseyfire Mandy Moore

My hometown of Los Angeles is burning. My heart is breaking. Please support these firefighters and this community, most especially Thousand Oaks, which recently went through another tragedy when 12 people were murdered inside of a club just days ago. Devastating. #Repost @lafdfoundation ・・・ @losangelesfiredepartment Deputy Chief Trevor Richmond briefs the media during the 4:30 p.m. press conference that concluded moments ago. As it stands, the #WoolseyFire has chard 35,000 acres and has destroyed a significant number of structures.

I am so sad by these fires. LA is my lifelong home, born and raised. Sending so much love and healing and recovery to those who have had to evacuate and those who lost their homes. This is so terrifying. This poor earth. You can donate to a direct fund in my bio to help fire victims. (MALIBU, David Hockney, 1993) 💔 Rowan Blanchard (◕‿◕)🌹

12. Sarah Michelle Gellar

Today my heart is filled with sadness. This was my dear friend @chriscortazzo home, known as “the ranch” It was truly the most magical and peaceful place I have ever been. Yesterday the #woolseyfire destroyed it. I am sad, not just for the house, but for all the animals that called it home. In my heart I know it wasn’t magic that made the home so special, but the kind and generous heart of its owner Chris. Thank you to all the selfless fire firefighters working non stop to put out this terrible tragedy. Please everyone stay safe. Today I will raise a glass to all the special memories of the Ranch that no 🔥 can take away. And pray for safety and speedy containment. Sarah Michelle
