A devastating forest fire has put Los Angeles on high alert, forcing numerous celebrities to evacuate. In the Pacific Palisades region, known for its celebrity residents, a mandatory evacuation order was issued on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Fire Department reports that several homes are under threat.
