UPDATE, SUNDAY 2:45 PM: The fires have caused Santa Monica and Beverly Hills to cancel all outdoor activities as a result of the smoky conditions.

KCAL, also known as CBS LA, tweeted that the two cities have decided to cancel events. “Santa Monica has canceled
the Santa Monica Farmers Market and all community and cultural services activities (including the swim center, skate park, field permits and tennis at Peed Park),” they wrote. They also added that the City of Beverly Hills has canceled all public outdoor activities.

In addition, Pepperdine University decided to close their Malibu and Calabasas campuses through the Thanksgiving holiday with classes resuming on November 26. Other campuses will remain open.

After an extensive evaluation, including an assessment of the needs of our community members and ongoing challenges presented by the Woolsey Fire, Malibu and Calabasas class schedules have been modified through the Thanksgiving holiday period. More info: https://t.co/7s7MFJw23t

Camille Grammer from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills also took to Instagram to report the unfortunate loss of her home.

“Sadly my house couldnt be saved,” she wrote. “The courageous firefighters were able to save my cars and personal items recovered from my home.” She went on to thank the firemen that helped her saying, “Im 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. Im grateful for my lovely neighbors and friends who kept me informed and for their help this evening.”

UPDATE, SUNDAY 9 AM: Actress Shannen Doherty is among the celebrities whose homes were believed threatened. Doherty was out of town when the fire broke, but reported online that people staying at her Malibu home evacuated safely with her dogs. She expressed thanks to firefighters and sympathy for others suffering displacement from the fires.

Actress Alyssa Milano updated that her house was not burned. She had previously tweeted that the structure was “in jeopardy,” but that her children and horses had been safely secured. “My house is still standing. Im on my way to bring firefighters water and food,” she tweeted.

His plea has been picked up by James Woods:

Refresh for updates… As wildfires spread up and down California, forcing the evacuation of Malibu to the south and raging north of Sacramento in the so-called Camp Fire, Hollywood celebrities from Alyssa Milano to James Woods are using social media to share stories and spread word about missing people and available resources.

Meanwhile, Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson said his home has been destroyed in the blaze.

We lost our home, but we are all safe and thats the important thing. Gonna be offline for awhile.

In addition, Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro tweeted that his memorabilia-stuffed Bleak House might be in danger – he evacuated last night – but that “the gift of life remains.” Bleak House holds the directors vast horror-related collection, including more than 700 pieces of original art, life-size wax recreations of Hollywood horror characters, Alfred Hitchcock memorabilia, and various movie props.

“Evacuated last night,” del Toro tweeted today. “Bleak House and the collection may be endangered but the gift of life remains. Thousand Oaks and Agoura are still in danger. Malibu is being evacuated.”

See all tweets and Instagrams below.

Woods is using his Twitter account to link to a list of missing persons in the Camp Fire and SoCal evacuations. “The only hashtag I am using is #CampFireJamesWoods to keep it simple for folks under duress,” the actor wrote earlier. Later, he tweeted, “People have requested I do a hashtag for missing persons in the fires now raging in Southern California, like we did for the #CampFire. Ill use #SoCalFiresJamesWoods People can exchange info using that hashtag on @Twitter searching for the missing or to announce they are safe.”

Milano shared that shes been evacuated from her home, taking “my kids, dogs, computer and my Doc Marten boots.”

Woods also retweeted Milanos request for help in rescuing five horses. (They were rescued).

Wrote Rainn Wilson, “Please send your prayers to the people of Thousand Oaks and the victims of the shooting that are now having to evacuate their homes and neighborhoods. Then send them some cash.”

Director Kevin Smith sought help for a near-Malibu farm that needs help evacuating 40 horses, while Joe Rogan took the moment to thank firefighters and first responders.

Deadline will continue to update throughout the day:

Multiple fires burning in California right now, including the #woolseyfire in Malibu. Thinking of everyone under evacuation and the firefighters working hard to protect families, animals, and homes. Stay safe!

For twelve hours we have been using two dedicated hashtags (#CampFireJamesWoods, #SoCalFiresJamesWoods) so people can coordinate finding each other on my @Twitter feed. Just tweet info on missing persons using a hashtag by geography or search for those missing the same way.
