Malibu Fire Rages On -- Celebs Being Evacuated?

The celeb-filled community of Malibu is currently being threatened by a dangerous brushfire, as Malibu residents around Puerco Canyon are being advised to evacuate.


The affected area is north of the Pacific Coast Highway, and only a mile west of Pepperdine University. Authorities fear the fire may jump the now-closed PCH. Over 500 acres have already been destroyed, aided by heavy Santa Ana winds that have been gusting as high as 100 MPH since last night.

Celebrities who live in the area include Britney Spears, Mel Gibson and Olivia Newton-John. No word yet on whether they have been affected. A landmark hillside home known as the "Malibu Castle," owned by socialite philanthropist Lilly Lawrence, burned to the ground.

18. not everyone who lives in malibu is rich... I rent an apartment in malibu. And im a regular working guy. I dont have renters insurance, and I just hope my place is still standing when I finally get to return home.
Its no joke when your house is in the path of a raging fire.
Some of you joke and laugh about this.. I hope it never happens to you. Its no joke, and no fun at all...

22. This is just awful. It is absolutly insane to see how close the fire is to people living there regular, day-to-day life. I feel horrible for the people who have lost their homes and those in fear that they are next. One just has to thank god that their family is safe and out of harm's way.
