Wildfires rage in Malibu, California.
Stars including RYAN O'NEAL, pictured above, MEL GIBSON, BRITNEY SPEARS, OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN and VICTORIA PRINCIPAL and their families were evacuated from their homes early Sunday morning due to powerful fires raging in the tony celebrity enclave of Malibu, California.
Singer TANYA TUCKER is in Las Vegas but had to evacuate her 18-year-old daughter and their four dogs from her Malibu home after fires closed in on the property, she told KCOP-Channel 13 News. "I told them to take everything they could take," she told the TV anchors via phone. "I have lots of memorabilia, of course, all my stage photos, my clothes, my boots, my shoes and my computer things. My main concern was to get my daughter out of there and my animals. I just feel so horrible for these people that are losing everything."
Stars that are safe and sound include "Dancing with the Stars" contestant, actress JANE SEYMOUR. Seymour and her family live in Malibu, but her rep tells ET that they have not been evacuated as of this time.
Several structures have already burned to the ground in the fast-moving fires, including Malibu Presbyterian Church, which was attended by many celebs, and a stately castle called Castle Kashan. Keep checking back here for more on this developing story.
