As many of us know, Southern California has been going through an extremely tough time over the past few days. The Woolsey Fire and Hill Fire have ripped through many parts of Southern Cali. Also, the deadly Camp Fire currently burning north of Sacramento, has sadly claimed 29 lives.
Over 260,000 residents in Los Angeles and Ventura counties alone have been forced to evacuate. Some of those evacuees included Jamie Foxx and his family, as well as Robin Thicke and his fam.’ Both stars have had two different outcomes so far, and now they’ve spoken out about it.
Robin Thicke & Pregnant Girlfriend Devastated
Soon after fleeing himself, his pregnant wife, April Love Geary; and their child to safety, Robin posted a message on Instagram, thanking firefighters for their help with trying to save their home:
“As we drove to safety, they risked their lives trying to save our home.”
Then came their heartbreaking revelation, that they’d completely lost everything. Their home was reduced to just rubble ad Robin spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the massive destruction they’re Malibu estate endured:
“It’s a great community, it’s a community of wonderful people, a lot of parents whose kids go to the same school as my kid,” Thicke shared. “It’s just devastating.”
He continued:
“It’s funny, [from what] you see movies, you’d think there would be one doll left over, or a book of course, something. [But] it’s just rubble,” Thick reflected somberly. “There’s nothing left.”
Thicke plans to rebuild:
“Coming back here, there’s a lot of hope. I see how many homes are standing, [there are] a lot of positive things that a lot of people who had to evacuate don’t know,” said Thicke.
He also sent a hopeful message to other residents who are still evacuated:
“A lot of your homes are still standing. … Ours didn’t make it, you know… sometimes it happens,” added Thicke. However, he plans to rebuild. “We love this area, we love the people here, we love this neighborhood. Luckily, some of the property is still intact, you know, [it was] just the home.”
Robin’s girlfriend and mother of his second child (with one on the way), April, shared images of the place they once called home online:

Jamie Foxx Asks For Prayers After Fleeing Cali Wildfires
In an interview on Live Kelly And Ryan Show, Jamie Foxx revealed that he had to evacuate his home and that his family members, who reside with him, are all living out of hotels at the present moment.
He thanked the firefighters for working 24/7 to ward of the wildfires. He also thanked one firefighter in particular, ‘Whistling Pete’, whom he revealed is a really nice dude, who always rides around Jamie’s Thousand Oaks neighborhood to whistle and play with the kids. See what else Jamie said about the devastation in his neighborhood, in the above video.
At this time, there are thousands of residents still evacuated from their California homes. There’s also major damage and destruction to the homes of many, including many more celebrities.
