California has been rocked by fires all over the state these past few days!
Many celebrities have homes in the area, such as Oprah Winfrey, Michael Douglas, and Rob Lowe.
And, now, we come to find out that actor Christopher Lloyd has just lost his home to the fires.
The 70 year-old former Back to the Future actor’s eight-acre property burned to the ground when the fires broke out.
As for Lloyd, he was filming in Vancouver when the fire hit his house. Luckily, a caretaker was able to flee the property safely. But, his $6 million home, pictured above, was one of over 100 luxury properties that has since burned down.
As of today, around 5,400 homes have been evacuated from and unfortunately 13 people have been injured.
And, scary enough, some residents were getting trapped at home.
Rob Lowe, the actor from the West Wing and that home porno back in the day, told how he had to flee with his children as the fires were approaching his home. He also mentioned how his family stopped to check on neighbors and found some of them trapped behind their automatic car gates that were stuck due to the power shutting down.
Lowe told a local news reporter that, “Embers were falling. Wind was 70 miles an hour easily and it was just like Armageddon. You couldn’t hear yourself think.”
Part of Westmont College also burned down, causing students to spend the night in a gym shelter.
Our thoughts go out to the fire victims, fire fighters, and all of those who are working so hard to help out during such a devastating time.
