Millionaires Flock To Hotels Amid Pacific Palisades Wildfire Destruction

The Pacific Palisades fires are causing the rich to run to hotels in Beverly Hills for shelter.

The deadly fires are wreaking havoc in the affluent Southern California neighborhood, with firefighters struggling to contain them.

Several celebrities have reportedly lost their homes, while others have shared updates about the devastating fires.

Celebrities are on the run as the Pacific Palisades fires continue to spread and wreak havoc. According to the Daily Mail, many wealthy persons flocked into luxury hotels in Beverly Hills near the fire zone.

Many top hotels have been sold out, including Beverly Hills Hotel, the Peninsula Hotel, The Four Seasons Beverly Hills, and the Waldorf Astoria.

A source told the outlet that they rushed to get top-class accommodations after the fires forced them to abandon their $7M home in the Palisades.

Lisa Ann, a longtime resident of Palisades, told the publication, "I evacuated early and called the Hilton immediately. They had like 2 rooms left. I feel lucky I could get in."

She added, "They sold out so fast, as soon as people started smelling smoke they went on hotels.com."

Ann also shared that the hotel is incredibly filled, saying, "There are people everywhere, hauling in their Gucci luggage and animals, dogs and cats too, I saw a parrot in a cage. It's a mad house."

Ann further shared that the hotel bar was full as people did their best to cope with the stressful situation. She revealed, "The stress is super high, I mean what else are you going to do? People are ordering vodka on the rocks hold the soda. I saw a woman crying while on her phone, mascara everywhere."

The Pacific Palisades resident also said, "The bar is packed with millionaires asking for information, they are searching the Citizen app and freaking out."

Amid the chaos, many of the wealthy people in the hotels are already making plans to leave California entirely.

Ann revealed, "Someone was already looking at a new home on Realtor.com, said they are leaving for Utah or Oregon. Everyone is shook. They want out of California."

As for the dress code in the hotel, Ann said, "No one is dressed up, gone are the Louboutins and Prada. It's all T-shirts and jeans and tennis shoes."

The Pacific Palisades neighborhood is home to many celebrities, including Ben Affleck, his former wife Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.

On Wednesday, Jamie Lee Curtis took to her Instagram page to share an update on the wildfires. She expressed fears that her home was on fire but said her family was safe.

Curtis wrote, "My community and possibly my home is on fire. My family is safe. Many of my friends will lose their homes. Many other communities as well. There are so many conflicting reports. With all the technology there seems to be very little information."

The actress urged people to post facts as only real information would help people wondering what was happening.

She added, "It is a terrifying situation and I'm grateful to the firefighters and all of the good Samaritans who are helping people get out of the way of the blaze. Neighbors have taken care of neighbors. We ALL take everything for granted because we are all living our lives but when it hits your community, it's particularly shocking."

Curtis urged people to help and care for each other, adding, "Stay out of the way and let the firefighters do their work. Pray if you believe in it and even if you don't, pray for those who do."

On Tuesday night, Affleck was forced to evacuate his home and fled to Garner's residence to take shelter.

Paparazzi captured the 52-year-old actor driving to Garner's home in his black SUV.

Affleck wore a blue suit jacket and white collared shirt. He reportedly seemed worried as he rushed to be with Garner and their three kids, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12.

According to TMZ, Garner and her family hadn't been ordered to evacuate as at Wednesday, though everyone in their area remain on standby.

TMZ also reported that television personality Pratt and his wife Montag lost their home in the huge inferno.

Sources told the outlet that the couple's home burned to the ground as the wildfires raged through the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.

However, Pratt's family evacuated safely from the area earlier before the fires reached their home.

Despite fleeing the inferno, sources said Pratt and his family were devastated by losing their home.
