The likes of La Toya Jackson, Nancy Sinatra, Patricia Heaton and Dwayne Johnson have also turned to social media after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Los Angeles on Independence Day.

AceShowbiz - Halle Berry, Mariah Carey, La Toya Jackson, and Ava DuVernay's Independence Day celebrations got off to a rocky start on Thursday (July 04) after an earthquake struck Southern California.

The strong tremors were initially thought to have measured 6.6 on the Richter scale, before being downgraded to a magnitude of 6.4, but it was enough to send shockwaves through Hollywood on America's birthday, and a number of celebrities flocked to social media to comment on the scary moment.

"Been living in Los Angeles all my life," tweeted director DuVernay. "That was the longest earthquake I've ever experienced. Not jerky. Smooth and rolling. But it was loooong (sic). It was so long I thought for the first time ever 'Is this the big one?' D**n. Respect Mother Nature. She's the boss."
