Since a series of wildfires began earlier this week, they have devastated swaths of Southern California, causing thousands of residents to evacuate as it rapidly engulfs large parts of the Los Angeles area.
Many of the more than 80,000 people that were displaced were celebrities who have called the area home for decades. Some, including Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Cary Elwes, Cameron Mathison, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, have confirmed that their homes have been destroyed.
