The Beverly Hills resident said her house was "under threat of being burned" and she had to evacuate her pets.
Our house is under threat of being burned. We just had to evacuate our pets. I’m praying for everyone in our community and thankful to all the incredible firefighters. The live stream is on https://t.co/FTcKVvHO16

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.
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... https://t.co/tRMXiPOqUp

Thank you all for keeping those of us near the fires in your thoughts. Our area remains on alert. Bags still packed. So grateful for firefighters who are working to get the fires contained. Others have not been as lucky.
