January 11, 2025: Pop star Britney Spears shared an update with her fans after being forced to evacuate her home due to the devastating wildfires affecting parts of Los Angeles.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Spears revealed that she had to drive for four hours to reach a hotel for safety. She also expressed her concern for others affected by the fires, writing, "I pray you're all doing well and I send my love!!!" alongside a video of mini doll shoes.
Spears also mentioned that she had been without electricity for the past few days, preventing her from charging her phone. She added, "I just got my phone back!!!"
Several other celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Ricki Lake, Anna Faris, and Jamie Lee Curtis, have also been impacted by the wildfires. Curtis, who lost local markets and friends' homes, urged the public to help with relief efforts, while Ricki Lake expressed her grief over the loss of her home, which had special significance as the place where she married her husband three years ago.
As of the latest reports, at least 11 people have lost their lives due to the wildfires. Firefighters are working to contain the largest blaze, the Palisades fire, which remains 8% contained. In response to the crisis, California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced an independent investigation into issues related to firefighter resources, while President Joe Biden has warned that the winds will continue to pose a threat in the coming week.
The situation remains dire, with officials working around the clock to control the fires and protect affected communities.
