Reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner’s home in the hills above Malibu has been destroyed by wildfires raging through California, according to reports.
The luxurious four-bedroom pad overlooking Malibu beach, in the celebrity-packed town, was engulfed by flames on Friday afternoon, TMZ reported.
It comes as other stars including Kim Kardashian-West, actress Alyssa Milano and singer Melissa Etheridge were among thousands fleeing their homes in and around Malibu on Friday.
A mass evacuation of the city was ordered as the fast-moving Woolsey wildfire approached on Friday, leaving a burning trail of destruction in its wake.
A separate fire has killed at least five people in the nearby town of Paradise, with footage showing 150-foot flames wreaking chaos.
Nearly 150,000 residents have been forced to leave their homes in southern California in total, while some 20,000 acres of land has been left scorched.
The entire 12,000 population of Malibu, which stretches 27 miles along the Pacific Ocean in Southern California and up into the Santa Monica mountains, was told to flee on Friday as the Woolsey fire exploded overnight and jumped a freeway, fire officials said.
Malibu and nearby Calabasas are home to hundreds of celebrities and entertainment executives attracted by its ocean views, rolling hills and large, isolated estates. Current and former residents include Barbra Streisand, Cher, Tom Hanks, Judd Apatow and Britney Spears.
Residents posted pleas on social media for help evacuating horses and other large animals from ranches, while long lines of traffic clogged the only coastal highway in and out of Malibu.
