Travis Barker's Kids Detail Harrowing Escape From Los Angeles Wildfires

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Travis Barker's kids have fled from their homes in the wake of the wildfires ripping through Los Angeles at incredible speed.

"Just evacuated praying for everyone the fires have effected," Barker's son Landon, 21, wrote via his Instagram Story on Tuesday, January 7, alongside a half-obscured selfie.

Landon's 19-year-old sister, Alabama, shared the same sentiment on her own instagram account.

"Just evacuated from my home due to the wild fires in Los Angeles, please be safe!!" the teen wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday. "They are saying the fires are spreading football field amounts in seconds." Alabama is correct — the Palisades wildfire, which began in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of L.A. on Tuesday — has burned nearly 3,000 acres of land and is seeing flames advancing at five football fields per minute.

Barker shares both Landon and Alabama with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. He is also a father figure to Atiana De La Hoya, Moakler's daughter with ex Oscar De La Hoya. The Blink-182 drummer welcomed his fourth child, son Rocky, with wife Kourtney Kardashian in November 2023.

The Barkers are just some of the celebrities who have been greatly affected by the three rapidly spreading wildfires across Los Angeles — the Palisades Fire, the Eaton Fire and the Hurst Fire. The flames, which are being stoked by some of the strongest Santa Ana wind L.A. residents can remember, have left hundreds of thousands evacuating the area.

Reality stars Heidi and Spencer Pratt's home was destroyed by one of the wildfires, they revealed on social media. Other stars who have spoken out about the devastation include Mark Hamill, who called the flames the "most horrific fire since '93."

Mandy Moore also evacuated her home, with husband Taylor Goldsmith, their three children, and all of their pets in tow.

"Evacuated safe with kids, dogs and cats. Praying and grateful for first responders," she wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday.

Tuesday's wildfires come just weeks after Malibu was ravaged by wildfires, forcing stars to evacuate their homes as well. At the time, Dick Van Dyke — who turned 99 just days later — revealed that he was saved by his neighbors after attempting to "crawl" to escape the flames.
