Britney Spears evacuates home as wildfires continue to rage
Britney Spears is holed up in a top Los Angeles hotel after she was forced to evacuate her southern California home due to raging wildfires.
The pop superstar's mansion in Calabasas was at risk from the brush-fuelled flames which have been spreading throughout the area and authorities put residents in her neighbourhood on standby to leave their properties last week (ends03May13) as they tried to contain the blaze.
She was still spotted in Calabasas on Friday (03May13), but it
appears she's since decided to pack up and move with her two young
sons.
A source tells the New York Post's Page Six column, "Britney and
her children had to leave her house last week because of the fire
scare. They are all safe and staying at the Four Seasons."
The Toxic hitmaker isn't the only celebrity whose home was
endangered by the blaze - comedienne Ellen DeGeneres and her
actress wife Portia De Rossi's farm in nearby Ventura County came
close to being burned to the ground over the weekend (04-05May13),
but firefighters managed to save the property from any damage. The
couple expressed its gratitude by giving 16 firefighters a place to
stay for the night.
