Wildfire Sweeps Through Pacific Palisades, Celeb Homes Threatened

5:40 PM PT — The grassy area around The Getty Villa Museum has gone up in flames.

3:46 PM PT — The LA County Fire Department has resorted to bulldozing vehicles to get to the inferno and fight the flames.

Pacific Palisades, a celeb-filled neighborhood in Los Angeles, is burning — a fast-moving wildfire has panicked residents trying to flee to safety, but all the roads are traffic-choked.

The wildfire first sparked around 10:30 AM Tuesday, with the flames spreading to more than 200 acres a little more than an hour later … according to LAFD spokesperson Erik Scott.

Due to the growing wildfire, many in the area are being advised to either get out ASAP or, at least, prepare to evacuate. It’s unclear if any homes have gone up in flames yet, but we got video of at least one scorched vehicle on one major road in the affluent ‘hood.

However, it seems the water isn’t doing much to put out the flames, and wind gusts approaching 100 mph aren’t helping either. James was still recording as the fire crept closer and closer to his neighbor’s home.

Other celebs who reside in the area include Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh, Reese Witherspoon, Adam Sandler, Steve Guttenberg, and Michael Keaton, among others.

No word on the status of their respective homes, but the situation looks extremely dire … so, stay tuned.
