Sean Penn Loses Trailer in Malibu Fire

For the past three days, Malibu -- playground to the stars -- has been ablaze. TMZ cameras filmed Sean Penn's trailer, completely destroyed just hours after the fire began. It's not clear if the actor was in town on Sunday.


Dozens of celebrities were evacuated when the unpredictable fire got too close, including Olivia Newton-John's family, country music star Tanya Tucker's daughter and "Dancing With The Stars" contestant Jane Seymour.

Celebrity rehab Promises was also evacuated as a precautionary measure. Not so lucky was the LG Summer party house -- its deck completely collapsed when fire hit the property. Castle Kashan and its memorabilia, owned by socialite Lilly Lawrence, burned to the ground.

L.A. County Fire Department told TMZ that right now, there are no active fires in Malibu, but evacuations are still in effect due to ember activity. The winds have abated, but firefighters remain on full alert. 4,400 acres have burned in Malibu, with fire destroying the Presbyterian Church, six homes and one commercial building. There is not yet a final count on the number vehicles burned. Officials expect the fire to be fully contained in the next couple of days -- if the weather cooperates.

33. Is he going to get a rowboat and a shotgun and patrol and film the devastation as well as film himself as he did when Katrina hit?

It amazes me that people like him claiming to be so liberal and free thinking and open minded are so closed minded and down right Hateful when it comes to people who still love this Country and try and show respect for its elected leaders.

While on patrol Sean, please dont Shoot to Kill those who might disagree with you.

Stick to acting and leave the leadership to those who have dedicated their lives to it. Now go home and get your shinebox, I mean your burned out trailer.

34. It's amazing that if you disagree with with someone your house should be burned.

American right-wing conservatives are pathetic.

35. just looking around, Sorry about the fires in Ca. that is a real tradgedy, and real losses to many many people.

Was just reading on some of the Anna Nicole Smith and found many references to" trailer trash," so I guess we can now say Penn is (was ) also "trailer trash"

38. For the last time, TMZ is a celebrity gossip site. the reason that tmz isnt writing abt the everyday folks, is because THEY ARE NOT CEELBRITIES!! Go to a more legit news site if you want those kind of facts. I hate it when ppl come here and say "gee, you know, there is a war in iraq you could write on." sorry folks, doesnt fall under celeb news. ugh.

and then all the disrespect to someone who lost something. I hope no one disagrees with me on anything because apparently that means its okay, not a big deal, deserved, etc when something of mine burns down.

Hope you all are out of danger...otherwise ppl can point and laugh at you on CNN when you lose something..

40. I heard Hugo Chavez came running out of the trailer with his pants around his ankles...true story.

41. Honestly.... People in Malibu can AFFORD to rebuild. Wha about San Diego and New Orleans when Katrina hit.
Sorry but I have no sympathy for these people making multimillions...
I feel badly sure.. but God they will be OK. While the poor as usual will suffer.

42. I love how compassionate conservatives love to blast people they don't agree with when said people lose their homes in a devastating fire. It sure tells us a lot about what sort of person you are!

43. Penn is nothing but trailer trash himself -- too bad he didn't burn up with it !

44. He is the smart one. Its easier to replace a trailor than a trillion dollar useless mansion. Why do people build in areas that have all these problems. I feel bad for the hardworking Joe out there that lost his HOME.

45. Isn't that his Airstream Trailer?!? Bummer!!

Noone who owns an Airstream is Trailer Trash.

Oh wait, you're not cool enough to own one.....
