Lea Michele was one of several celebrities impacted Wednesday by the California wildfire evacuations after a second fire broke out overnight near west Los Angeles.
“[I’m] totally fine,” the 31-year-old actress shared with Entertainment Tonight during her Wednesday appearance at The Hollywood Reporter’s 2017 Women In Entertainment breakfast. (RELATED: Celebrate Lea Michele’s Birthday With Her Most Scandalous Pics [SLIDESHOW])
“I live with [my stylist] Brad Goreski and [his husband] Gary Janetti now,” she added. “Honestly, thank God for this event this morning because I got up at 5:30 and everyone came to the house. And they’re like, ‘We need to leave.’ So I threw my cat in the bag and left and got ready at Brad’s, thank God.”
“Everything’s OK,” she continued as she shared that her home was okay. “There’s so much going on in our world right now. You have to kind of just take the things that mean the most to you and be OK to roll with whatever. As long as I have my cat, I literally don’t care about anything else. Nothing else matters. So, that was it. I’m shaking still.”
Lionel Richie shared on Twitter that he was canceling his show Wednesday night in Las Vegas to help his family evacuate their home and get to a safe location.
“Due to the devastating California Wildfires, and helping family evacuate to a safer place, I unfortunately have to cancel my show tonight. I look forward to returning to the stage this weekend and performing for my fans,” Richie tweeted.

More and more fires here in So Cal. This is incredibly heartbreaking and it’s now right by some of our friend’s houses. Praying hard for everyone’s safety.

never thought I’d get to actually play what I thought was a hypothetical game of what would you grab if there were a fire. so far all I have is Luna, some limited edition Oreos and my spike tv award
