LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga were among thousands fleeing their homes on Friday as a fast-moving wildfire engulfed Malibu and nearby celebrity neighborhoods.

Kardashian, who on Thursday evacuated the home she shares in nearby Calabasas with Kanye West, tweeted on Friday that she “heard the flames have hit our property... but now are more contained and have stopped.”

The entire 12,000-strong population of Malibu, which stretches 27 miles (43.5 km) along the Pacific Ocean in Southern California and up into the Santa Monica mountains, was placed under mandatory evacuation on Friday as the Woolsey fire exploded overnight.

The City of Malibu’s Twitter account said the fire was burning out of control.



Malibu and Calabasas are home to hundreds of celebrities and entertainment executives attracted by its ocean views, rolling hills and large, isolated estates. Current and former residents include Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, Judd Apatow and Britney Spears.

Celebrity website TMZ reported that the Malibu home of Caitlyn Jenner, America’s best-known transgender activist, was destroyed by the flames on Friday. Her publicist could not confirm the status of her house, but told Reuters that Jenner was safe. ..............

Cher, who said she had lived in Malibu since 1972, tweeted that the wildfire was coming close to her home, although she said she was not on the property. .............................

6. I am up here in the SF bay area, and this morning there was haze and I could smell the smoke from

the Paradise California in Butte County, 200 some miles away.

I don't know what started the Malibu fire, but this fire was started by a campfire, and unfortunately 5 people have lost there lives.

I am hear the whole town of Paradise has been destroyed:

We have really had an awful time with fires both in Northern and Southern California, and worst part of it is that some of the fires were intentionally started

Just hours after they evacuated. Stay safe California

5. "Containment at 0%" I read firefires priority is evacuations--not putting out fires as

it should be.
Very short staffed. 5 dead in cars that were surrounded by flames. god. I do 'pray' ==my gods and goddessess--for their families.

10. I live in CA and remember Malibu being hit in 2007, Suzanne Somers

lost her home in 2007. The fire burns right to the ocean. This happened in Greece this past Summer. The people had to go into the water and still died. We had the 3rd worst CA fire (the Cedar Fire in 2003 before the Witch Fire in 2007)and it would've continued to burn right to the ocean and through pricey La Jolla but the winds and weather changed just in time.
