From comedian Chelsea Handler to actress Lea Michele, several celebrities were forced to leave their homes in the firestorm.

CALIFORNIA -- Even during a disaster Chelsea Handler can still crack a joke. The comedian was among several celebrities who were reportedly evacuated during the Southern California wildfires this week.
In a tweet on Wednesday, Handler wrote that it was as though President Donald Trump was "setting the world on fire."
Just evacuated my house. It’s like Donald Trump is setting the world on fire. Literally and figuratively. Stay safe everyone. Dark times.
