Grammy-winning songwriter Diane Warren says the beach house she’s had for 30 years has been lost in the devastating wildfires raging L.A. County.
On her Instagram account Wednesday, the 15-time Oscar-nominated songwriter posted a photo of a rock on the beach behind her home that reminds her of her late friend, Leah. “This is the last pic I took of Leah’s rock from my beach house. I’ve had this house for almost 30 years. It looks like it was lost in the fire last nite,” she writes. “There’s a rainbow shining on it which I’m taking as a sign of hope for all creatures who have been affected by this tragedy.”
She also added that her animals are safe: “The animals and the rescue ranch are OK tho which is the most important thing. Stay safe everyone.”
On Tuesday night California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency as Santa Monica and Malibu published evacuation orders. Officials shared that two people had died from the fires and that people are “not out of danger yet.” Hollywood stars have taken to social media to share firsthand accounts about the blaze and its impact, including Eugene Levy, Mark Hamill, James Woods, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.
Events throughout Hollywood were also canceled including movie premieres and screenings, awards shows and the Los Angeles‘ Kings game at Crypto.com Arena.
