Dua Lipa "safely" fled Los Angeles amid the devastating wildfires.

The 'Levitating' hitmaker, 29, admitted it had been a "scary couple of days" and revealed that she was among those forced to evacuate an area impacted by the disaster - which has claimed 10 lives and burned thousands of homes to the ground in Southern California.

Sharing a video of the LA skyline, she wrote on her Instagram Story: "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."

Reassuring her fans, she added: "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."

The British-Albania star proceeded to share links to various places to donate, including evacuation and animal shelters, and information on how to help those affected.

The 'Dance The Night' hitmaker bought a property in Beverly Hills in 2020.

British rocker James Bourne is also among those forced to flee his Los Angeles home.

The Busted star, 41, took to X to document what he was witnessing, describing what appeared to be "explosions" in his street, before declaring: "Ok I'm evacuating."

Take That star Mark Owen, 52, also had to leave his home after waking to helicopters, "thick black smoke" and howling winds.

His actress wife Emma Ferguson told their fans online: "Thank you for all your messages and checking in. I can't quite comprehend what happened here, but we are safe.

 

"The hurricane-force winds and lack of water have meant the fire has spread catastrophically fast and taken much of our beloved area with it.

"Schools, homes, shops, and stables are all gone.

"We woke up to helicopters, thick black smoke, winds howling, and the uncertainty that our house would survive.

"I wish I had packed better. Even if I had just grabbed each of their baby shoes, it would have been something.

"So many have lost everything, pets included. And it's nowhere near over. Three active fires are blazing around us, and there is not enough water to manage the situation. Planes are grounded due to the winds

"I'm not sure what our next step is. Right now, I'm just heavy and tired. We are beyond grateful to the heroes at @losangelesfiredepartment for all they do during these times. They work tirelessly to save homes and lives under catastrophic conditions.

"We see you. Climate change is real, and it's apocalyptic when it strikes."

Emma and their children were safe at a hotel, while Mark was at his music studio with their pets, but they were worried they would have to rescue their horse again as the place they'd put the animal was "under threat".
