AceShowbiz - The serene neighborhood of Pacific Palisades turned into a scene of chaos on Tuesday night, January 7 as a wildfire, driven by severe Santa Ana winds exceeding 100 mph, rapidly spread across 2,921 acres.
Among the evacuees were political and entertainment personalities, including the family of Travis Barker - the renowned drummer of Blink-182. Alabama Barker, a 19-year-old rapper, and her 21-year-old brother Landon Barker, an aspiring rocker, took to social media to share their alarming experiences and to call for prayers for the state of California.
"Just evacuated from my home due to wildfires in Los Angeles, please be safe!" Alabama shared urgently via Instastory to her 7.4 million followers.
Landon added to the caution by captioning a selfie with, "Just evacuated praying for everyone the fires have affected."
Their reference to "homes" most likely points to their father Travis Barker's luxurious $2.8M, five-bedroom residence located in The Oaks of Calabasas. Their stepmother Kourtney Kardashian Barker's $8.5M mansion was also nearby. The couple additionally own a $14.5M beach house in Santa Barbara.
Local residents within the vicinity have faced turmoil, with roughly 30,000 people, including noted celebrities like James Woods, Eugene Levy, Steve Guttenberg, Spencer Pratt, and Heidi Pratt, having to abandon their homes under the governor's state of emergency declaration.
Governor Gavin Newsom's state of emergency facilitated FEMA's approval of a Fire Management Assistance Grant, which aims to provide critical resources to suppress the wildfire. This emergency response serves as a beacon of hope amidst the looming devastation.
The relentless fires spread at a rate alarming enough to cover football field amounts within seconds. For young fans and followers of Alabama and Landon, their social media posts and call to "Pray for California," resonates deeply - signifying a collective hope for safety, recovery, and resilience as the Golden State navigates through this natural disaster.
