On Tuesday, 'Star Wars' actor Hamill posted on Instagram about his harrowing escape. “We evacuated Malibu so last-minute there were small fires on both sides of the road,” Hamill wrote, describing how he, his wife Marilou York, and their dog Trixie reached their daughter’s home in Hollywood. He called the blaze the “most horrific fire since ’93” and urged his followers to stay safe.

Jamie Lee Curtis revealed on Instagram Wednesday morning that her home is at risk. “My community and possibly my home is on fire,” she wrote, expressing gratitude for firefighters and neighbors assisting those in need.

The fire began Tuesday morning in Pacific Palisades near Piedra Morada Drive and has burned over 2,900 acres.

The Los Angeles Fire Department continues to combat the fast-moving wildfire, with residents urged to follow evacuation orders.
