Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and Other Celebrities Affected by the California Wildfires
Not even the rich and famous have been spared the devastation of the Woolsey Fire currently raging through swathes of Southern California. Woolsey is one of three wildfires ripping through the state since late last week, and part of an alarming increase in the frequency and severity of such fires that experts are attributing directly to climate change. News broke over the weekend that parts of the famed Bachelor mansion had been destroyed by the blaze.
Others in the entertainment industry have had to either evacuate their homes or, tragically, have lost their homes altogether. Many are taking to social media to report updates on their safety while issuing well wishes to others in the area.
