Wildfires in the Los Angeles area have destroyed the homes of several rock musicians, including Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe, Scott Ian of Anthrax, Brad Wilk of RATM, Joe Bonamassa, and others.
Many of them have been forced to evacuate. Tommy Lee’s wife, Brittany Furlan, shared updates on Instagram, saying, “We were evacuated last night. The fire is 0% contained. Praying for a miracle,” along with a video from her neighborhood.
Scott Ian shared his gratitude to firefighters. “Sending all our love to the men and women of the Los Angeles Fire Department. Over and over you risk your lives to save ours and I can’t thank you enough. Tonight is going to be a hellish night for so many. Stay safe my friends, that’s all that matters. Thank you to everyone that has been reaching out – Pearl, Revel, Grizzly and I evacuated and we’re safe.”
Joe Bonamassa shared his concerns. “It’s not in my hands anymore. A very hard place to be as a curator. It’s my lifetime of work. I knew this day would come eventually but just not today. So far so good tonight but the situation is very fluid. A major thanks to the firefighters and first responders for giving it their all these past few days. Stay safe Los Angeles.. These are uncertain and unprecedented times.”
At least five people have died, and more than 1,000 buildings have been destroyed as wildfires continue to spread through the Los Angeles area. Fast-moving flames have burned down homes and businesses, forcing people to evacuate from smoke-filled canyons and neighborhoods.
Celebrities like Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore, and Paris Hilton have also been evacuated from their homes.
