Celebrities including Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian West, and Rainn Wilson were required to evacuate their homes in Malibu, Calabasas, and Thousand Oaks, Calfornia, on Friday as the Woolsey Fire threatened their neighborhoods.

"I heard the flames have hit our property at our home in Hidden Hills but now are more contained and have stopped at the moment," West tweeted. "It doesn't seems like it is getting worse right now."
