Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore among those who lost their homes in Los Angeles fires

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fires are burning in and around Los Angeles has claimed the homes of several celebrities including Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore and Paris Hilton and led to widespread disruption of entertainment events.

Three awards ceremonies scheduled for this weekend have been postponed. Next week’s Oscar nominations has been delayed. And tens of thousands of Angelenos have been displaced and are awaiting word Thursday on whether their homes survived the flames — some of them the city’s most famous residents.

More than 1,900 structures have been destroyed, and the number is expected to rise. More than 130,000 people are also under evacuation orders in the metropolitan area, from the Pacific Coast inland to Pasadena, a number that continues to shift as new fires break out.

Late Wednesday, a fire burned in the Hollywood Hills hills near the famed Hollywood Bowl and Dolby Theater, home of the Academy Awards.

Here’s how the brands are affecting celebrities and the Los Angeles entertainment industry:

Stars whose homes are burned in the fire

Celebrities that Crystal and his wife, Janice, shared memories of the homes they lost.

The Crystals lost the home they had lived in for 45 years in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.

“Janice and I have lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that cannot be taken away. We are obviously devastated, but with the love of our children and friends, we will get through this,” Crystals wrote in the statement.

Mandy Moore lost her home in the Altadena neighborhood about 30 miles east of the Palisades.

“Honestly, I’m in shock and numb to everything so many have lost, including my family. My children’s school is gone. Our favorite restaurants, leveled. So many friends and loved ones have lost everything too,” Moore wrote on Instagram in a post that included video of destroyed streets in the foothills suburb.

“Our community is devastated, but we will be here to rebuild together. Sending love to all affected and on the front lines trying to get this under control,” Moore wrote.

Hilton posted a news video clip on Instagram, saying it featured footage of her destroyed home in Malibu. “This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took her first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London,” she said, referring to her young children.

Elwes, the star of “The Princess Bride” and several other films, wrote on Instagram Wednesday that his family was safe, but their home was burned in the fire in the coastal Palisades. “Unfortunately we lost our home, but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire,” wrote Elwes.

The award season has sprung up

The fires have thrown Hollywood’s carefully orchestrated awards season into disarray.

Awards ceremonies scheduled for this weekend have been postponed due to the fires. The AFI Awards, which were to honor “Wicked,” “Anora” and other awards, were scheduled for Friday.

The AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, which honor movies and TV shows that resonate with older audiences, were set for Friday but have been postponed.

The Critics Choice Awards, originally scheduled for Sunday, has been postponed until 26 Feb.

Each of the broadcasts features projects looking for any edge they can get in the Oscar race that were scheduled during the Oscar voting window.

The Oscar nominations is also being delayed two days to January 19, and the Academy has extended the voting window to accommodate members affected by the fires.

History lost, and more at risk

Flames burned parts of Palisades Charter High School, which has been featured in many Hollywood productions, including the 1976 horror film “Carrie,” the 2003 remake of “Freaky Friday” and the TV series “Teen Wolf.”

The Palisades fire also destroyed the historic ranch house that belonged to Hollywood legend Will Rogers. It was among several structures destroyed in both Will Rogers State Historic Park and Topanga State Park. The historic Topanga Ranch Motel, built by William Randolph Hearst in 1929, also burned down.

Rogers’ ranch, built on land he bought in the 1920s, occupied about 359 acres in what is now Pacific Palisades. It included a 31-room ranch house, a barn, golf course and riding trails. His wife donated it to California State Parks in 1944.

The Hollywood Hills fire is burning close to several Hollywood landmarks, including the Walk of Fame, the TCL Chinese Theater and the Hollywood Bowl.
