Katy Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, and Oprah Winfrey are among the A-list celebrities whose coastal residences were swept into concern after a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s coast triggered a tsunami advisory across the Pacific.

The alert covers large sections of the US West Coast, Hawaii, and Alaska, regions known for their beachfront estates and celebrity hideaways.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Malibu compound, estimated at over $13.8 million, and Jennifer Aniston’s $21 million Montecito mansion fall within the zones under caution.

Katy Perry owns a Santa Barbara, area estate reportedly worth $15 million, while Oprah Winfrey’s sprawling $100 million Maui property has also been flagged due to its proximity to coastal areas impacted by wave activity.

While no mandatory evacuations have been issued, residents have been strongly urged to avoid beaches and remain alert for several hours due to the risk of unpredictable wave activity.

In Hawaii, waves measuring several feet reached shorelines on multiple islands, prompting local officials to open emergency routes and issue safety notices.

On the mainland, California counties like Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, where many stars own property, also remain under advisory.

So far, there have been no reports of injuries or structural damage. However, the situation has stirred concern among emergency services and locals, especially in areas where previous wildfires and flooding have already strained disaster response systems.

Authorities continue to monitor for aftershocks and secondary wave surges, warning that unstable coastal conditions may persist.
