Britney Spears evacuates $7.4M mansion as LA fires rage, drives 4 hours to hotel
She’s feeling stronger than yesterday.
Britney Spears, 43, was among the celebrities impacted by the LA wildfires, as she evacuated her $7.4 million-dollar Thousand Oaks home and drove four hours to escape the blazes.
On Friday, the “Toxic” singer posted on her Instagram a photo of pink stiletto shoes on a doll.
In the caption, she wrote, “I hope you are all doing OK !!! I had to evacuate my home and I’m driving 4 hours to a hotel !!! I’m posting these adorable shoes to lift people’s spirits !!! Most people may not even be on their phones !!!”
She added that she wasn’t on social media earlier in the week, “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 !!!”
180,000 (and counting) Los Angeles-area residents have been forced to evacuate their homes due to the devastating wildfires in Southern California.
At least 10 people have died from the wildfires, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
The crisis started on Tuesday morning with the Pacific Palisades Fire, followed by more fires that sparked in neighboring areas Eaton, Woodley, Altadena, and more.
Spears’ home is in Hidden Hills, which is northeast of LA. Similar to Spears, Jessica Simpson also had to flee her home.
Anthony Hopkins, Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Miles Teller, and Adam Brody and Leighton Meester are among the stars who have lost their homes in the fires.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend had to flee their home and seek shelter at a hotel with their kids and pets.
Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, revealed her Malibu bungalow burned down in the Palisades Fire. She called it “my favorite place, my sanctuary, my sacred Happy Place,” adding, “Now it is gone.”
Crystal has also spoken out about the tragedy.
“Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing. We ache for our friends and neighbors who have also lost their homes and businesses in this tragedy,” he said in a statement to People.
The “When Harry Met Sally” star added, “Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away. We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this.”
Paris Hilton’s Malibu beach house was destroyed in the Palisades fire, too.
“Heartbroken beyond words. Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,” the reality TV star wrote while sharing local news coverage of her area.
“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,” Hilton added, referring to her children.
Liz Lin, president of the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, told The Post, “We’re entering day three of the fire and everybody’s starting to get tired.”
“We’re in it for the long haul,” she added — saying that the LAFD and other responders likely have at least another month’s worth of work ahead of them.
