Britney Spears joined the slew of celebs who were forced to leave their homes due to the Los Angeles fires.
The singer revealed Thursday night that she fled her $7.4 million Thousand Oaks, Calif., mansion to stay at a hotel far away from the blazes.
“I hope you are all doing OK !!! I had to evacuate my home and I’m driving 4 hours to a hotel !!!” she wrote in an Instagram post.
Spears, 43, acknowledged that “many people may not even be on their phones” to see her social media post, adding, “I wasn’t the past two days because I had no electricity to charge and I just got my phone back !!! I pray you’re all doing well and I send my love !!!”
A source tells Page Six exclusively that the “Woman in Me” author’s 13,000-square-foot Italian-style villa, which she bought in 2015, was OK as of Friday.
Hundreds of thousands of people have had to leave their homes in the Los Angeles area since a wildfire in the Pacific Palisades began to spread rapidly Tuesday. At least 10 people have died.
A series of subsequent fires have also forced countless A-listers to flee their mansions during the biggest disaster in LA history.
Many lost everything they owned, including Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, “This Is Us” star Milo Ventimiglia and Spears’ longtime friend Paris Hilton, who saw her Malibu vacation home burn to the ground while watching TV.
“Heartbroken beyond words,” the “Simple Life” star, 43, captioned an Instagram post. “Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience.”
“This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London,” she added, referencing her son and daughter, both 1, whom she shares with her husband, Carter Reum.
Hilton confirmed in her post that her family is safe before sharing that her team at 11:11 Media Impact is looking into how to “best support” the affected communities and make “a meaningful difference.”
“Hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight,” she concluded. “You never know when everything could change.”
