Julianne Hough has evacuated her home in the Hollywood Hills after a fire broke out in the area.
The Dancing with the Stars host took to Instagram Stories on Wednesday, January 8, to share videos of her experience.
Julianne Hough, in a video from her home, expressed urgent concern about a nearby fire in the Hollywood Hills. She emphasized the need for everyone in the area to evacuate immediately due to the fire’s proximity and the potential danger it posed. She stressed the importance of leaving promptly to avoid getting stuck in traffic, which could hinder evacuation efforts.
After sharing that message, Hough updated her followers with a second video taken in a car. She was with her dog, Sunny.
Reassuring her safety while driving with her friend Sunny, Julianne Hough urged people to evacuate even if the fire was not directly affecting them. She highlighted the impact of traffic congestion on evacuation routes and the necessity of being prepared to move swiftly to safety. Hough called for unity and support for first responders and firefighters during this challenging time.
Meanwhile, major fires continue to blaze a devastating course through Los Angeles, affecting many stars and their homes.
An intense windstorm, fueled by Santa Ana winds, ignited rapidly spreading brush fires on January 7th, prompting chaos among drivers on Sunset Boulevard and Palisades Drive, who abandoned their vehicles to escape the approaching flames.
On Wednesday night, a new wildfire, called the Sunset Fire, flared up in the Hollywood Hills, the famed neighborhood in central L.A. where the Hollywood Sign is located, according to The New York Times. The city issued an evacuation order for the area’s residents, many of whom work in the entertainment industry.
Since the catastrophe began, celebrities including Paris Hilton, Anna Faris and Billy Crystal have lost their homes to the fires.
Hilton, 43, shared that she was “heartbroken beyond words” over her losing her home.
“Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,” she wrote via Instagram on Wednesday. “This home was where we built so many precious memories.”
