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. Authorities are warning of life-threatening conditions as the fire has consumed over 1,200 acres of land, fueled by the powerful Santa Ana winds. The Los Angeles Fire Department reports that several homes are under threat.
