The fires in the very affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Southern California has caused people to literally run for their lives.
Over 30,000 people have been evacuated, often leaving with just their small pets and the shirts on their backs.
And DailyMail.com has learned that many of the super wealthy have flowed into the luxury hotels in nearby Beverly Hills that charge $700 a night.

I don’t wish tragedy on anyone - anyone - but.
All I’m saying is, maybe, a few of them will return from - or leave - La La Land and Cloud 9 and remember what it is to be human, and be humbled, and take the chance God is giving to redeem their souls.
If they do that, anything else they do will come from their heart not their publicist.
The Big Stars have enough to just relocate anywhere without blinking, but I hope this event opens their eyes, anyway.
Many Christians live here...
Also...
Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6.
Lord I pray for these precious people for whom you died and minimize their damage and grief. Amen.
Try Pasadena my friend—of which KTLA was focusing and the link showed.
But I suppose someone who bought or built their home 75 years ago and had their insurance yanked (which has happend to us too, up here in Butte County)—somehow deserve the fire that destroyed their domicile.
Is the pain no less for someone that lost their humble mobile home on five acres than someone that lost their three million dollar home in a suburban community?
But really—you have so little empathy for someone that lost all their possessions based upon the current price of their home? What a hard man...
No, its much of California...
Nice place to get stuck in...
How much do you want to bet that Biden’s FEMA will give them far more and quicker assistance than they have to the hundreds of hurricane victims still living in tents in North Carolina?
Read the article? No can do.
It’s not that I don’t want to read the article. It’s that I respect Free Republic tradition. It’s based on how long you’ve been here:
- Less than 1 year: You really shouldn’t comment. You’re a newbie.
- 1 to 5 years: Read the entire article before commenting.
- 5 to 10 years: Read the excerpt before commenting. Don’t worry about the rest of the article.
-10+ years: Just glance at the headline. Then say whatever comes to mind. Your comments don’t even have to apply to the article.
Yeah the suffering these stars are enduring is legendary. :)
“”There are a lot of good people there; not everyone rich in California has been a ‘driving force’ of the destructive stuff. Even for very wealthy people, losing things that are irreplaceable must be awful.””
Well said - AND not everyone living in CA is RICH by any means NOR do they share the responsibility of putting liberals in power..Lived there for 50+ years and was never rich or voted for a democrat.
There really are people who live there who DO NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT - believe it or not, FREEPERS!
Please don’t confuse the posters with FACTS!!!
When did I post the article - in my sleep????????
Did you bother to read the replies?
Good comments—the guy being interviewed said his parents had lived in a home for over fifty years that just burned down.
Nobody deserves that.
Were you ungodly when Christ saved you or were you always this way?
“Build your mansion out of masonry, steel stud framing, fireproof insulation and with metal roofs and they will not burn down.”
None of that works in a firestorm with 80 mph gusts. Even a continuous water spray doesn’t necessarily work — saw instances last night of multiple F.D. hoses on a roof and fire still expanding.
I don't have to defend my comment to you based on your post which contain none of the information I was talking about. You whine like a leftist.
“”Did most Southern Californians keep voting for watermelon Marxist in the Democratic Party? Yes.””
WOW......Like I said - geniuses here today.
Lived there for 50+ years and never knew one who voted for a democrat!!!!
Then the idiots should have replaced their grass with gravel and their trees with sculptures. They had enough money.
Or breathing a huge sigh of relief.
Insurance companies have been canceling, or refusing to renew, policies for a while now, due to wildfire risks.
James Woods also declared that he and many of his neighbors no longer have insurance after a 'major company' supposedly canceled many of the policies four months ago.
You must be some kind of recluse. Explain Newscum to me.
