Travis Barker’s children, Landon Barker and Alabama Barker, were forced to evacuate their home on January 7 as a massive brushfire, fueled by hurricane-force winds, tore through the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Los Angeles.
The wildfire erupted in the early hours of January 7 and rapidly grew in size due to powerful winds, spreading into residential neighborhoods. Over the course of the day and into the morning of January 8, the blaze consumed more than 2,921 acres and forced over 30,000 residents to flee their homes.
As celebrities continue to speak out, Landon Barker and Alabama Barker have shared an update on their current situation.
Travis Barker's Children Take To Social Media To Share An Update
Landon Barker shared his experience with his followers via Instagram Stories, posting a selfie alongside the caption, “Just evacuated. Praying for everyone the fires have affected.”
His sister, Alabama Barker also updated her followers on social media, writing, “Just evacuated from my home due to the wildfires in Los Angeles, please be safe!! They are saying the fires are spreading football field amounts in seconds.”
Khloe Kardashian, the sister of Travis Barker's wife, Kourtney Kardashian, expressed her gratitude to the firefighters and first responders battling the devastating blaze. In her Instagram Stories, she wrote, “Thank you for your unwavering dedication and courage in the face of these devastating fires in CA. Your selflessness, resilience, and tireless efforts to protect lives and communities are deeply appreciated.”
Travis Barker's Kids Evacuate Amid Wildfires
When Alabama and Landon Barker referred to their "homes," they were likely referencing their father, Travis Barker's $2.8 million five-bedroom house located in the exclusive Oaks of Calabasas. The 49-year-old Grammy-nominated drummer's estate is just one of the luxurious properties connected to the Barker family.
Alabama and Landon might have also been alluding to their stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian Barker's nearby $8.5 million six-bedroom mansion in The Estates at The Oaks. The power couple, who welcomed their son Rocky Thirteen Barker in 2023, also reportedly own a stunning $14.5 million beach house in Santa Barbara — a possible sanctuary amidst the current wildfire crisis.
Wildfire Impacts Hollywood
The Southern California wildfires have also disrupted Hollywood's awards season. The 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards live nominations announcement, originally scheduled for January 8, was canceled due to safety concerns.
“In an abundance of caution for the safety of our presenters, guests, and staff, the live in-person SAG Awards nominations announcement has been canceled due to the wildfires and adverse wind conditions in Los Angeles,” read a statement from the official SAG Awards X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, account.
“Nominees will be unveiled tomorrow at 7:30 PT via press release and the SAG Awards website. We look forward to celebrating these incredible actors and their work at the SAG Awards ceremony on February 23. In the meantime, we urge everyone to stay safe," it added.
California Wildfires Wreak Havoc
Among the high-profile evacuees are actors James Woods, Steve Guttenberg, Eugene Levy, and Chet Hanks. The destruction has also displaced reality TV stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.
Others, including Chris Pratt, Josh Gad, Jamie Lee Curtis, Mark Hamill, Bethenny Frankel, Tom Hanks, and more, have shared their thoughts and prayers with all of those affected.
As the fires continue to rage, many families — including the Barkers — are undoubtedly prioritizing safety and seeking refuge in their multiple residences scattered across California.
Devastation and Evacuations Continue
According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, more than 10,300 homes remain under threat from the fires. Reports of multiple burn victims have surfaced, though the full extent of damage is still unclear.
Traffic congestion paralyzed major L.A. roadways as thousands of residents scrambled to escape. Some were forced to abandon their vehicles and evacuate on foot.
Adding to the crisis, two wildfires have disappeared in nearby regions. The Eaton Fire ignited on January 9 in the hills above Altadena, scorching over 1,000 acres and triggering more evacuation orders. Meanwhile, the Hurst Fire erupted in the Sylmar neighborhood late on January 9, rapidly consuming hundreds of acres and forcing residents to flee.
As emergency services continue to battle the relentless flames, authorities urge residents to remain vigilant, follow evacuation orders, and prioritize safety above all else.
