The statement added, “The LA County Fire Department has specifically ordered that all permits issued for filming in the communities of Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge and Unincorporated Pasadena be revoked. Further permit revocations are possible.”
Many stars have had to leave their homes, including Mandy Moore, Spencer Pratt, Cameron Mathison and more. Many of their buildings were destroyed by fire.
“I love you, Altadena. Thanks to my family and pets for coming out last night before it was too late (and endless thanks to friends for taking us in and bringing us clothes and blankets),” Moore, 40, wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. “Honestly, I am shocked and numb for all the missing, including my family. My children’s school is gone. Our favorite restaurants, rated. Many friends and loved ones also lost everything. Our community is broken but we will be here to rebuild together.”
