All the Stars Affected by Wildfire: Robin Thicke's Home Destroyed, Gaga's & Caitlyn's Spared
The wildfires raging across California have displaced 300,000 residents, including the mandatory evacuation of the entire city of Malibu, home to countless celebrities.
Though her home was initially reported as being consumed by the blaze, Caitlyn Jenner's pad has escaped unscathed.
Jenner and her companion Sophia Hutchins posted a joint video on Instagram Saturday, expressing gratitude for being at a safe location. When Caitlyn noted, "I don't think we're having that good of a day," Sophia chimed in to say, "We're having a vodka, it's been a hell of a morning." Still, they and their dogs and, come to find out, their home are all safe.

He described seeing the fire "explode" across the area in which he lives. "This is the worst one I've seen," he told a news crew. "We've been here since 1970... I've never seen one with this intensity." He saved nothing from his home; only some food.
