The Levitating singer shared an emotional note on Instagram with her followers. Along with a sight of the burning LA, she wrote, “Absolutely devastating and scary couple of days in LA. Thinking of all my friends and the people of the city who had to evacuate their homes. I'll be sharing some links I find for anyone who wants to help and donate to the shelters that are currently housing a lot of displaced people.”

Dua Lipa leaves home behind amid LA fires

Lipa, who purchased a sprawling mansion in Beverly Hills back in 2020, had initially moved closer to her former boyfriend Anwar Hadid. However, as the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles continued to spread, Lipa, like many other celebrities, was forced to evacuate. With the death toll rising to 10 and over 1,200 acres affected by the fire, several A-listers, including Paris Hilton, Denise Crosby, and Milo Ventimiglia, have seen their homes reduced to ashes, as reported by Daily Mail.

The situation in LA remains dire as the blaze moves closer to more neighbourhoods. James Bourne also made the decision to flee his lavish LA home after flames began to engulf the surrounding areas, joining a growing list of celebrities evacuating the city.
