Miley Cyrus has been left “completely devastated” after raging wildfires in Malibu, Calif., destroyed her home.

The 25-year-old singer took to Twitter on Sunday night to reveal the sad news, telling fans that while she’s struggling to come to terms with the loss, she’s comforted by the fact that her fiance Liam Hemsworth and the couple’s pets are all safe.

“Completely devestated (sic) by the fires affecting my community. I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that’s all that matters right now,” she tweeted.

Miley continued her message by urging others to donate time or money to the attempts to get the blaze under control.

“My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong. I am grateful for all I have left. Sending so much love and gratitude to the firefighters and LA country Sheriff’s department! … I love you more than ever,” she concluded.

Miley is just one of the stars to have lost her home in the wildfires. Robin Thicke’s pad was also destroyed, with his pregnant partner April Love Geary sharing a picture of a space where the property once stood on her Instagram, writing: “Our house is gone.”

Meanwhile, Gerard Butler shared a snap of the charred remains of his Malibu mansion on Instagram, writing: “Returned to my house in Malibu after evacuating. Heartbreaking time across California. Inspired as ever by the courage, spirit and sacrifice of firefighters. Thank you @LosAngelesFireDepartment.”

Neil Young’s house was also destroyed, while stars including Will Smith, Kim Kardashian and Martin Sheen all had to evacuate as the blaze threatened to engulf their properties.

Jamie Foxx has urged people to “look for the good” in others in this “crazy” world.

The 50-year-old actor attended the New York premiere of his new movie Robin Hood on Sunday night, while his family were staying in a hotel in California after being evacuated from their home because of the wildfires tearing through areas such as Malibu and Calabasas.

The blazes are just the latest in a string of disasters to hit America, with a mass shooting at the Borderline Bar and Grill last week claiming the lives of 12 people.

And reflecting on these tumultuous times, Jamie admitted he’s doing his best to look for the positive, rather than get dragged down by negativity.

Speaking about the fires, Jamie told Entertainment Tonight: “We’re all affected (in California). We had to evacuate, so my kids and my family are in hotels but they’re safe. But at least 25 people lost their lives, a lot of people are hurting in my neighborhood in Thousand Oaks, and of course, you know, the shootings.

“So, I can’t tell people enough, in a world right now where it’s sort of crazy times to just look for the good in people. Stop looking for the bad in people. And just pray for the kids, man, pray for everybody in California. People are losing their whole existence. We were fortunate enough to be able to move but a lot of people aren’t, so just god bless all.”

Jamie stars alongside Taron Egerton and Jamie Dornan in Robin Hood, in which he takes on the role of Little John. While the film is set in Medieval England, Jamie’s character has an American accent, and he looked to some unusual inspirations for the lilts in his tone.

“We tried to do this with a sort of suspension of reality in a sense, we just sort of put our own spin on. So everybody had a different vernacular,” he explained. “I basically patterned my voice pattern after the guy in Malcolm X, when Denzel (Washington) went to jail. Every time I would do a line I would go think back (to that actor)… and a little bit of Anthony Hopkins.”

Stars honoured firefighters and members of the armed forces as they hit the stage for the 44th annual People’s Choice Awards on Sunday.

Held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., the annual ceremony was filled with heartfelt moments as guests had the Veterans Day holiday and California’s ongoing wildfires on their minds.

The ceremony kicked off with a performance from Nicki Minaj, who was joined by Tyga for Dip. The Super Bass hitmaker later shocked the crowd while accepting Female Artist, when she referenced Black Panther actor Michael B. Jordan, noting, “He’s going to be taking this (dress) off of me tonight!”

The hip hop sensation also walked away with Album of the Year for Queen.

Accepting the night’s first award for Comedic Movie (The Spy Who Dumped Me), Mila Kunis took time to acknowledge the firefighters who have been fighting the deadly wildfires throughout California.

“We are in a state of emergency,” she said. “You know, I have this opportunity and I want to say if you can take a minute to donate to the LASD (Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department) Foundation it would be really, really great.”

As Terry Crews and Betty Gilpin presented the award for Country Artist, they displayed a similar sentiment, taking a moment to mourn those who have lost their lives in the disaster, which began on Thursday. The two encouraged viewers to donate to the Red Cross.

Then, in his acceptance speech, winner Blake Shelton honoured his late father, a veteran.

Victoria Beckham also had those working to contain the blaze on her mind as she accepted the Fashion Icon Award.

She also described her personal journey from a member of the Spice Girls to running a fashion empire.

“If you really, really put your head down and you focus and you work hard and you believe in yourself, what you can achieve is incredible,” she told the crowd. “Many years ago I started with girl power and now that message is still strong as ever.”

She ended with a message for women who have faced struggle, telling them, “If you’ve ever been doubted, this award tonight is for all of us.”

And Scarlett Johansson also took the time to thank members of the military as she was awarded Female Movie Star, noting that “they put their lives on the line so we don’t have to”.

Kim Kardashian, who was among the celebrities forced to evacuate their homes due to the wildfire threatening Malibu, Calabasas and Hidden Hills, among other California towns and cities, also gave an emotional speech in response to the disaster as she accepted Reality Show of 2018 for Keeping Up with the Kardashians with her sisters and mum Kris Jenner.

“We cannot face devastation alone,” she said as she urged fans to donate to relief efforts. “We must continue to reach out and help each other.”

Gerard Butler has become the latest celebrity to lose his home to the California wildfires.

The 300 star took to his Instagram Story account on Sunday to show video of himself touring the remains of his destroyed property.

He posted two videos and could be heard stating: “Welcome to my home in Malibu” in one.

He also took to Instagram to salute the bravery of firefighters battling the blaze, writing: “Returned to my house in Malibu after evacuating. Heartbreaking time across California. Inspired as ever by the courage, spirit and sacrifice of firefighters. Thank you @LosAngelesFireDepartment.”

He also added a link to donate to those impacted by the Woolsey fire that has been raging since Thursday.

Kelsey Grammer’s ex-wife Camille was also hit hard by the fire over the weekend – her place was destroyed on Saturday night, hours after singer Robin Thicke confirmed he had lost his Malibu pad.

The reality TV star posted an aerial view of her home in flames on Instagram and wrote: “Sadly my house couldn’t be saved. The courageous firefighters were able to save my cars and personal items recovered from my home. I thanked the fire captain and his team of firemen for all of their hard work.

“He took the time to explain what happened and I’m grateful for all of their hard work trying to save my home. Sad we lost our home but grateful that my family is safe. Luckily we quickly evacuated our house yesterday after a patrol car drove up the street announcing mandatory evacuations.

“I’m grateful for my lovely neighbors and friends who kept me informed and for their help this evening. Thank you all for caring.”

Reports suggest over 180 homes have been lost in the Woolsey fire, which is still threatening several properties in Agoura, Topanga, Hidden Hills, West Hills, Calabasas, and Malibu, which has been under mandatory evacuation since Friday.

More than 250,000 people have been forced to flee their homes to avoid three major California blazes, which began late last week. 

Reports on Friday suggested Caitlyn Jenner had lost her home overlooking Malibu, but sources now tell The Blast the place was damaged but not destroyed. Jenner, who assured fans and followers that she and her dogs were OK on Friday, has yet to confirm she has a house to go back to.

Caitlyn’s stepdaughters, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are among those who have been evacuated, alongside Lady Gaga, who posted video of herself and her team packing up cars and fleeing on social media.

“Sending my prayers to everyone today,” the Poker Face singer later wrote. “I am thinking so deeply for everyone who is suffering today from these abominable fires & grieving for the loss of their homes or loved ones. I’m sitting here with many of you wondering if my home will burst into flames.

“Thank you to the fire fighters, police, first and emergency responders for doing above and beyond everything you can do to help us. You are true heroes. I’m so grateful I love you and god bless you to all the firefighters and first responders who continue fighting this fire. You risk your lives for us, and I’m so humbled by your bravery”

The fire has burned through over 83,000 acres and is currently only 10 per cent contained.

Jennifer Garner stepped out for the first time with her new boyfriend, John Miller.

The couple attended a performance of the musical Dear Evan Hansen at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, but actively avoided being photographed together.

However, the lovebirds were snapped in a limo leaving the theatre.

The mother-of-three was first linked to John in October, after a source told Entertainment Tonight that the Love, Simon actress had been dating him for a few months. Jennifer, 46, and John, the CEO of holding company CaliGroup, reportedly hit it off after meeting through mutual friends, and have been on several dates.

The date night comes days after Jennifer’s divorce from Ben Affleck was finalized.

The former couple submitted the final documents to a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge last week, and now the actors are single again, after a judge signed off on the divorce on Wednesday.

According to the documents, Ben and Jennifer will share joint custody of their children, Seraphina, Violet and Samuel, and they have also agreed to meet with a co-parenting therapist on a monthly basis for a minimum of six months.

The pair did not have a prenuptial agreement, but have agreed on a property split.

According to U.K. newspaper The Mirror, Ben has checked back into rehab in an effort to battle his alcoholism, and told friends and family he believes he needs “several more months of treatment to stay sober”.

The Justice League star recently completed 40 days at an addiction clinic, and has now checked back in and will stay most nights at the rehab center.

A rep for the star has yet to comment on the report.

Kim Kardashian has reportedly given husband Kanye West an ultimatum – stop the outbursts or no more children.

The Gold Digger star has caused concern with his frequent rambling interviews, including a recent meeting at The White House during which he hugged President Donald Trump and told journalists that he “loved” the former Celebrity Apprentice host.

The incidents have allegedly left the reality star feeling stressed out and fearing damage to her brand, but the mother of three has now found a way to put her foot down.

“She’s repeatedly tried to convince him to be more careful of what he says in public, which he’s failed to do, so now she’s using his eagerness to have more kids as a bargaining tool,” a source told Closer magazine. “Kim told him that there’s no way she’s going to even think about having any more children until he starts taking her feelings into consideration and realising the consequences of his words and actions ” and it seems this time he’s actually listened to her.”

The 38-year-old revealed on show Keeping Up with the Kardashians that her husband has been “harassing” her to have more children, and during a visit to Uganda in October, the Yeezy designer, 41, confided to President Yoweri Museveni that he wanted “seven children.”

“Kim’s open to the idea of another baby and has told family and friends she’d quite like a fourth child – but she’ll only go ahead when she’s sure Kanye has properly reined in his behaviour,” the source continued.

And it looks like Kim, who has children North, Saint and Chicago, born via a surrogate, with Kanye, might get her wish, as days after his cringeworthy Oval office appearance, Kanye tweeted he was “distancing himself from politics and completely focusing on being creative”, and alleged he’d been “used to spread messages I don’t believe in”.

“After his public vow to steer clear of politics, she’s feeling positive and is now even getting back in touch with the surrogate mother who carried Chicago last year,” added the source, explaining that Kim would love another baby to bring her and Kanye closer together.

Paramount Pictures’ war-horror hybrid “Overlord” was third with $19 million.

Robin Thicke’s home has been destroyed in the California wildfires.

Robin’s pregnant girlfriend April Love Geary took to her Instagram Story on Saturday to share the devastating news that their luxury Malibu property was burned to the ground by the spreading Woolsey Canyon fire.

The 23-year-old, who shares daughter Mia, eight months, with Robin, uploaded a photo of the front gate of the now-destroyed home.

“Our house is gone,” she wrote.

Robin, 41, later shared a heartbreaking snap of his son Julian, from his marriage to ex-wife Paula Patton, sitting on the sand with debris around him.

“Contemplating our next move,” the singer wrote.

On Friday, Robin shared on Instagram that he and his family had been forced to evacuate their home.

“Family is safe! Praying for everyone out here!” he wrote.

He then posted a terrifying photo of a giant cloud of smoke near their Malibu mansion, and captioned the shot: “Our home is just to the left! Praying.”

Lots of other celebrities have also been directly affected by the wildfires, which erupted in Ventura County on Thursday.

Liam Payne took to Twitter to reveal his devastation that his home in Malibu would be destroyed.

“My heart goes out to everyone caught in the fires please stay safe and don’t take unnecessary risks,” the former One Direction star wrote. “I think I’m about to lose my house and its memories. Even worse tragically people have died. Thoughts and prayers with everyone. It’s been a tough day let’s hope it gets better.”

Kourtney Kardashian took to her Instagram Story to share that the street that she lives on in Calabasas had been on fire only meters away from her home.

“This is so devastating and crazy. My home is on this street. I keep praying for all of those affected and those fighting this fire for us. God bless you,” she said.

Jessica Simpson said on Instagram that she and her family – including husband Eric Johnson, daughter Maxwell and son Ace – were evacuated from their home.

“Praying for everyone in California affected by these terrible fires,” the pregnant singer wrote. “We have been evacuated for almost 48hrs now and need the angels to keep surrounding our home. Thank you to the brave firefighters who have protected our home so far.”

At least 25 people have died and more than 250,000 people evacuated as destructive wildfires rip through north and south California.

Kate Upton has given birth to a baby girl.

The model and actress took to Instagram on Saturday to announce the arrival of her daughter Genevieve Upton Verlander with a black and white snap, just days after celebrating her first wedding anniversary with husband Justin Verlander.

“Genevieve Upton Verlander 11.7.18,” she captioned the sweet photo, revealing the newborn had arrived on Nov. 7.

Proud dad Justin also shared the same image on his Instagram page, and wrote: “Welcome to the world Genevieve Upton Verlander. You stole my (heart emoji) the first second I met you!!! 11.7.2018.”

Kate and baseball player Justin, who pitches for the Houston Astros, announced their baby news in July via a social media post which showed off the 26-year-old’s growing belly.

“#PregnantinMiami @justinverlander,” she wrote alongside a picture of her posing in a stylish red suit.

The sportsman re-posted the same photo on his own Instagram and added a heartfelt message praising his wife.

“You’re going to be the most amazing Mom!!” Justin, 35, wrote. “I can’t wait to start this new journey with you! You’re the most thoughtful, loving, caring, and strong woman I’ve ever met! I’m so proud that our little one is going to be raised in this world by a woman like you! I love you so much.”

Genevieve is the first child for Kate and Justin, who married last November in a beautiful ceremony in Italy, shortly after the Astros won the World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“I got to marry my best friend,” the star told Maxim in July. “He’s an amazing man. He’s so supportive and focused and motivated, and he inspires me every day. I’m so very lucky that he’s my husband.”

Michael Buble and his wife Luisana Lopilato have fallen in love deeper since their son Noah battled cancer.

It was reported in November 2016 that Noah, who was then just three, had been diagnosed with liver cancer.

The youngster has since gone on to make a full recovery, and Michael says far from tearing his family apart, it has brought them closer together.

“I think Lu and I fell in love in a deeper way,” he smiled to Hello! magazine. “When things go wrong you find out the person you’re with, who they are, and you find out who you are. And I think I like her more. We heard all those horrible statistics, that 92 per cent of parents get divorced and we did not love hearing that.”

As well as Noah, the couple has son Elias, two, and newborn daughter Vida, who they welcomed in July.

During Noah’s cancer battle, Michael quit all work commitments to focus on his family, but he recently went back to music and will release new album Love later in November.

“It’s a small way to reach out and thank them with my music and to maybe help some people get through their tribulations, the way they helped me get through mine,” he said of the record. “And even though I will have no idea how much I may help them, they will have no idea how much they helped me.

“That outpouring of love, compassion, the prayers, the people in the street, the little bit would get through to me and they would sometimes reinvigorate us on days that we didn’t know how to get through.”

Ashton Kutcher has urged the U.S. leader’s daughter Ivanka Trump to talk to her dad about gun reform after partying with her brother-in-law at the site of America’s latest massacre.

A gunman shot and killed 12 people, including a police officer, before turning the gun on himself during a Wednesday night rampage at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, Calif., where Kutcher celebrated his 40th birthday earlier this year.

“My wife (Mila Kunis) threw me a birthday party this year at the Borderline,” the actor revealed in a tweet.

“(The) only reason we are alive is the shooter chose a different night. My heart goes out to the victims.”

Ashton turned to the issue of gun control in the U.S., adding: “I’ll say it again… Gun Reform now! Politicians need to stop standing behind the dollar and Protect the people!” – and then pleaded with President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, to speak to her father about the problem, reminding her that her husband’s brother, Joshua Kushner, was at his birthday party: “He could have just as easily been a victim,” he wrote. “You go to synagogues, you could be a victim! Talk to your dad! Plead with your dad! Let this be your legacy! Gun Reform now!”

The synagogue comment refers to a recent mass shooting at the Tree of Life temple in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during Shabbat morning services. Eleven people were killed.

The sole suspect, 46-year-old Robert Gregory Bowers, has been charged with 29 federal crimes and 36 state crimes. The shooting was the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in United States history.

Kutcher went on to note that he grew up around guns and doesn’t think licence owners should give up their weapons: “I grew up a hunter, I worked at a gun club pulling trap growing up,” he tweeted. “No body is taking your guns!!! Gun reform!!!!! Let it be a test. Your electorate doesn’t want to die when they go to church or a concert or a bar!

“This isn’t an either/or it’s a both! Support mental health initiatives & support Gun Reform Now!!”

He ended his Twitter rant by revealing he was actually handed a gun as a 40th birthday gift, adding: “My friend gave me a gun as a gift in the parking lot of the borderline on my birthday. I’ve never shot it. I don’t think I ever will. (Love) to the families of the lost. Change is coming.”
