Mandatory evacuations are underway in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of L.A. where NBA star LeBron James and Vice President Kamala Harris live.

Officials issued urgent evacuation orders as massive flames approached Brentwood.

“I pray this nightmare ends soon!” LeBron tweeted after returning to X (Twitter). The father-of-3 took a brief hiatus from X due to online bullying of his eldest son, Bronny James.

LeBron owns an eight-bedroom, eleven-bathroom mansion in Brentwood valued at $23 million.

The Lakers star is among those who heeded the warnings to evacuate. NBA star Kawhi Leonard lost his home in the wildfires last week. The NBA postponed home games due to the wildfires in the area. Games against the San Antonio Spurs at Crypto.com Arena and the L.A. Clippers’ game against the Charlotte Hornets at Intuit Dome have been postponed.

Kamala Harris has already evacuated her house, which was the site of a possible break-in over the weekend. Local authorities detained 2 men outside her house, but they were let go.

10,000 firefighters – some from as far away as Canada, Mexico and even the Ukraine – are on the ground helping to contain the wildfires.

At least 24 people are dead and over 15,000 structures, including 10,000 homes, destroyed by wildfires fueled by strong hurricane force winds. Officials believe some of the fires are caused by arson.

Director and playwright Tyler Perry had some choice words for “greedy” insurance companies.

The 55-year-old “Madea” star recalled watching an ER nurse hosing down her parents’ house. She told ABC7 News how their insurance was canceled after 75 years. Tyler vowed to help as many people as he can.

“People who have paid premiums all of their lives are left with nothing because of pure greed,” he wrote in a post on Instagram. “As I am in the process of trying to figure out what steps to take to do all I can to help as many as I can, I am keeping everyone in my prayers.”
