Terrifying Los Angeles Fire Videos Shared By Paris Hilton, The Miz and More Celebs
Wildfires burned closer to Hollywood, California, on Thursday, destroying the land many A-list stars call home.
Winds carried the flames to northwest Los Angeles County, resulting in shocking videos of fires burning along highways—including a road driven regularly by WWE Superstar and MTV host Mike "The Miz" Mizanin. The 37-year-old Real World alum shared surreal footage on Twitter Thursday, depicting burning woods.
"This is not a movie set. This is real life on a highway I take to the airport," Mizanin wrote on Twitter, adding that his home is safe.
This is not a movie set. This is real life on a highway I take to the airport. My home is safe but a lot of my friends had to evacuate their homes due to this LA fire. My thoughts and prayers go to all families affected. Thank you to all firefighters and first responders pic.twitter.com/Qgbyh0EXLM

Other celebrities were not as lucky and were forced to evacuate their homes. One of those was TV personality Paris Hilton. The 36-year-old posted a widely circulated video of fires raging near the Getty Center and the 405 Freeway (which has since been shut down), announcing she evacuated her L.A. home "to get all of my pets out of there safely."
