Both of the legendary Blink-182 drummer’s kids took to their official social media accounts to share that they have vacated their home following the Pacific Palisades wildfires that have been spreading throughout Los Angeles and demolishing the city.
As reported by Billboard, 21-year-old Landon took to his Instagram stories to share a selfie with the caption: “Just evacuated praying for everyone the fires have [affected].”
His sister, Alabama Barker, also gave an update on her Instagram stories and wrote: “Just evacuated from my home due to wildfires in Los Angeles, please be safe !! They are saying the fires are spreading football field amounts in seconds.” In a separate story, she wrote: “Pray for California.”
Earlier this week (January 7), a series of raging wildfires swept Los Angeles, California, and are still burning strong. The wildfires have forced over 150,000 residents and counting out of their homes, with thousands of houses, vehicles and more being destroyed.
The entertainment world has been reacting to the current state of the wildfires with Star Wars legend Mark Hamill sharing that he had to evacuate from his home in Malibu. Mandy Moore and James Woods were also among those who have fled their home in the state with the latter breaking down on television while discussing the loss of his home. He had documented the destruction as he fled to safety.
“One day you’re swimming in the pool and the next day it’s all gone” he told CNN, after confirming the fire had claimed his house in Pacific Palisades. He also broke down recalling his eight-year-old niece’s innocent offer of help. “She came out with her little Yeti piggy bank, for us to rebuild our house” he said while wiping away tears.
A fundraiser for DIIV’s frontman Zachary Cole Smith was launched after his house succumbed to the fires. According to the GoFundMe campaign launched by their friend Lindsey Hartman, Smith and his family are safe but have unfortunately had their house burnt and destroyed in the fires.
Hartman wrote: “Dani is also six months pregnant, making this already horrifying event even more impossible to bear. This home included all of their possessions (clothing, heirlooms, prized possessions) as well as all of Cole’s musical gear, the family car, and all of their baby supplies for Roy and the newborn on the way.”
The Kills‘ frontwoman Alison Mosshart recently hit out at Donald Trump amid the ongoing wildfires in California, saying it will be “harder” to rebuild communities once he is in power.
Musicians like Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande were quick to share links to resources on social media, while others detailed their experiences with evacuation. Others also shared their sympathies with the people affected by the tragedies as thousands of homes, belongings and more are being burnt to the ground.

Comedian Billy Crystal and TV personality Paris Hilton are also among the many who have lost their homes in devastating wildfires. Crystal, known for his roles in Monsters, Inc and When Harry Met Sally, confirmed in a statement that his Pacific Palisades home that he has lived in for 46 years has been destroyed.
“Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing” he said. “We ache for our friends and neighbours who have also lost their homes and businesses in this tragedy. Janice and I lived in our home since 1979.
“We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away. We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this”.
Hilton shared her experience watching her home burn on television. “Heartbroken beyond words” she wrote on Instagram. “Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience. This home was where we built so many precious memories”.
Cary Elwes, best known for starring in The Princess Bride and Saw, wrote on his Instagram account “sadly we did lose our home but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire”
