Wildfires rage through Pacific Palisades, a popular celebrity enclave in Los Angeles, causing significant damage to homes and property. The fires have claimed several celebrity residences, including those of Anna Faris, Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, and Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag Pratt. The historic Palisades Charter School has also been destroyed in the blaze.
Several celebrities have documented the fires’ effect on their lives.

Sara Foster, an executive producer on Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, wrote on her Instagram Story alongside footage of the wildfires: Pali High is on fire.
