Dua Lipa is forced to flee LA following a ‘scary couple of days’ while fellow Brits James Bourne, Mark Owen and TOWIE legend spark concern amid wildlife horror – as death toll hits 10

Dua Lipa is among the British stars who has been forced to flee Los Angeles due to the Pacific Palisades and Hollywood Hills fires.

The British-Albanian singer, 29, Busted’s James Bourne, Take That’s Mark Owen and TOWIE legend Liam ‘Gatsby’ Blackwell have all had to evacuate as the wildfires continue to sweep through LA.

The death toll has reached 10 and at least 10,000 structures have been wiped out, with celebrities including Paris Hilton, Denise Crosby, and Milo Ventimiglia now amongst the A-listers who have seen their homes reduced to ash.

Dua sparked concern in her latest Instagram post as she reflected on a ‘scary couple of days’ but insisted she is safe and made it out of the city. 

In 2020, it was reported ‘Dua purchased a sprawling mansion in Beverly Hills to move closer to her ex-boyfriend Anwar Hadid’.

Dua wrote: ‘Absolutely devastating and scary couple of days in LA. Thinking of all my friends and the people of the city who had to evacuate their homes. 

‘I’ll be sharing some links I find for anyone who wants to help and donate to the shelters that are currently housing a lot of displaced people. 

‘I’m safe and made it out of the city. Sending my love to everyone going through this incredibly difficult time. Stay safe and take care of each other.’

Busted star James also made the decision to flee his lavish LA home after flames started to engulf its surrounding areas.

As the fires edged closer to his home, James penned in consecutive posts on X: ‘The fires on my street have been put out’; ‘Major explosion on the street wtf’; ‘Ok I’m evacuating’.

Liam ‘Gatsby’, who relocated to Los Angeles in 2023, was also forced to evacuate his home in West Hollywood.

The former TOWIE star, 36, took to Instagram to share a clip of the burning hills as he explained he had evacuated his house and headed to his family’s home in West Hills. 

However it wasn’t long before the family were instructed to leave West Hills as the fires continued to spread. 

Exclaiming the fires are ‘outta control’, Liam explained: ‘So yesterday I left my house in West Hollywood and came to my family home in West Hills and now there is a new fire that has just started out over there. 

‘I think they are saying we are going to have to evacuate, everyone is starting to pack. It’s crazy.’

In another caption he penned: ‘This is outta control!! This has to be a planned attack or some of these fires have to be arson—doesn’t make sense how they can keep starting in random areas! 

‘Just got a text to evacuate!! Please God, make the house and everyone else stay safe  Big up all the Firefighters!!!!’

Liam also shared a compilation of clips from the fire circling on social media as he added: ‘Pray for LA’.

The star, who appeared on TOWIE from 2015 until 2022, moved across the pond to start a new career in real estate as he left the world of reality TV behind and joined his family in LA.

Take That singer Mark fleed their home as the wildfire spread, with his wife Emma Ferguson issuing a new update.

The 52-year-old singer, his wife, his three children, and their animals had to immediately evacuate after they awoke to ‘helicopters, thick black smoke and winds howling’.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Emma recorded a clip updating her followers and letting her friends and family know she is safe. 

In the video, she said: ‘I’m so tired, I don’t think anyone in LA is sleeping right now. I’m popping back on here, we’ve had so many messages of people just checking if we’re ok – friends and family back home and there are so many messages.

‘They’re so lovely, we just don’t have the energy or the time to individually send details. Just to let you know that we are safe, we are still safe, myself and the two girls are at a hotel with the two smaller dogs and the hamsters. 

‘Mark is at his music studio with the two bigger dogs and the cats, we have so many animals.’

She emotionally continued: ‘We managed to get the horse to safety, although the horse might have to be rescued again because where they were moved to is now under threat.’

‘Elwood and his girlfriend were at his girlfriends house and that are got evacuated so they’re now with other friends. I can’t wait to have my family all back together again.’

Emma added that she ‘feels so blessed they’re all safe’ as many people have ‘lost everything’.

Although, she admitted their battle isn’t over yet as their house is ‘under threat again’ and ‘none of the fires are contained’. 

She told her followers: ‘They’re all still raging so that’s the most exhausing bit, constantly looking online to see if your house is gone. Then we had threats of looters – can you believe people are looting at this time. What is wrong with humanity?’

Before signing off and thanking everyone for their support, she admitted: ‘Im trying to stay in this moment because if I go into tomorrow or the long term that’s when I will break down.’

Patsy Palmer also shared her heartbreak as devastating wildfires sweep across her ‘hometown’ of Los Angeles.

Patsy had returned to the UK last Saturday before the fires broke out and said it was hard being so far away as the fires rage.

Patsy wrote: ‘My heart is broken. My brain is fried today looking at the devastating scenes of the fires AGAIN in my hometown. I just returned home to my home in case after the fires a couple of weeks ago and left on Saturday back to work in the UK and now this. 

‘My family are safe but lots of my friends have lost their homes again which is extremely traumatic. 

‘Being here so far away is really really hard. I’m praying and crying as I write this. I’m helpless here but praying hard  Please reach out if you need anything. Richard and kids are there safe and evacuated. 

‘This is huge. Really wasn’t expecting this. Heartbroken. Stay safe.’

‘At least according to the watch duty site that most people are recommending. Thing is where to go?

‘Mainly hearing ‘drive south’. But from what I can see most roads are now totally blocked with back to back traffic. So just waiting. Bags are packed. Waiting and watching.

‘Sending love to everyone. So much love to you all. We’ve got this. We have to.’ 

Alice is thought to be renting a home in California with her two children after her bitter divorce from Ioan Gruffudd.

Nicola previously told Cosmopolitan: ‘We did have a house in LA at one point, but we sold it because we were like, ‘Oh, we’re going to go to Florida for a while’. And then we’re like, ‘No, just kidding, we have to be in LA for work.’ It was so silly of us.

‘We are immensely grateful to the brave firefighters and first responders who are risking their lives to protect others. Please stay safe and look after each other during this devastating time. Victoria x.’
