Ellen DeGeneres has tweeted about the chance that her house could be razed by Californian wildfires blazing out of control.

The Beverly Hills resident said her house was "under threat of being burned" and she had to evacuate her pets.

The talk show host said she was praying for her community and thanked the incredible firefighters battling the blazes. 

The fires have destroyed nearly 800 homes and other buildings, killed dozens of horses and forced over 200 thousand people to flee their homes. 

Many celebrities have been among those affected, including Lionel Richie, Maria Shriver and Leah Michelle.
