Tori Spelling Details Harrowing Evacuation With 5 Kids & 5 Pets Amid LA Fires!

Tori Spelling is one of the many Californians forced to evacuate amid the unrelenting fires… And she’s detailing her story.

The list of celebs forced to evacuate their LA homes amid the devastating fires continues to climb, and the Beverly Hills, 90210 star is one of the latest. On Friday, she took to Instagram to share “the post [she] didn’t want to have to do” after having to urgently pack up her brood of five kids and five pets and flee their Woodland Hills rental. She wrote:

“the post I didn’t want to have to do… days of watching destruction and monitoring and living in fear. I haven’t posted or shared bc social media was saturated. amazing kindness , sorrowful loss, helpful shares, and pleas. I didn’t want to be redundant. But, last night we were evacuated. I tried my best to hang in there and not just flee to flee but we had too [sic] finally.”

The 51-year-old continued:

“My hearts are w/everyone who have lost and suffered so much. But, as a mama bear w/5 kiddos & fur babies your gut tells you when it’s time to take action. And, all the amazing apps and LIVES that have been keeping us updated. In a SUV me and 5 kids, 3 large dogs, 1 cat, and a ferret left unplanned.”

That’s a whole lot of bodies to pack up… And even more chaotic for Tori, she said she didn’t have any sort of plan, despite friends telling her to form one for days. She regretfully admitted:

“I should have listened. I fit us all in barely. No clothes. But grabbed photo albums. And fled.”

Oof… But at the end of the day, what’s important is she DID manage to safely evacuate her brood. She should focus on that!

Luckily, Tori reached out to friend Jami Schwartz, whom she noted works for Airbnb, and was hooked up with a rental that very same night:

“@airbnb saved us! Literally! They stepped in and found something to house our massive family and pets and same night. Jami and Taylor I will forever be grateful!”

But on the way there, her “terrified” kids expressed concern over her plan:

“With terrified kids and one w/terrible asthma…I drove. My kids said  ‘Mom. You sure we should go this way? Freeway is standstill other direction. We are headed right into the fires’. Indeed we were. Mother instinct took over and I pressed on north on 101. As we drove literally thru it and smoke coming thru car vents… I told my children to take a deep breath and hold and put Tshirts over their noses and mouths. I said then ‘This is scary but hopeful. We will drive thru it and past. It will be ok. I promise you all’ We pressed on. Leaving behind a burning LA.”

That is SO SCARY! Smoke was coming through the vents? Our hearts hurt for all of the people and animals who weren’t as lucky to find accommodation so quickly.

The momma of five ended off noting she and her kids are “indeed” okay and are “some of the lucky ones.” She also shared snaps from the serene rental which features a “koi pond and a monarch butterfly sanctuary.”

We’re so glad they’re all okay! Tori and her family have been through so much with their living situation. We hope they settle in well for however long they’ll have to be there.
