Caught in the middle of the wildfires that destroyed hundreds of homes in California, Snoop Dogg and family were asked to evacuate. We gather that the fires, to the north, north-west and south of L.A. burnt through dry forest before unleashing its wrath on suburban communities.

According to the LA Times, homeowners in Snoop’s neighborhood, “an exclusive gated-community in Diamond Bar,” were asked to evacuate. Snoop and family were among the thousands of California residents that evacuated as wildfires blazed through town. In true Snoop fashion, his family left in a caravan full of caged dogs.

Snoop’s neighborhood wasn’t the only area affected by the California fires.

“Among the 14,000 homeowners in Montecito are the talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, the film director, Steven Spielberg, and actors John Cleese, Michael Douglas, Christopher Lloyd and Steve Martin.” [via: Telegraph]

Actor Rob Lowe also described his family’s dramatic escape from an “Armageddon-like” wildfire that ravaged a celebrity-studded enclave in California. If you’re in Cali, please stay safe. We need your readership.
