Kim Kardashian was among the many citizens who had to flee their homes as wildfires spread through California late Thursday. The reality TV personality reportedly said that she was forced to evacuate her Calabasas, California, home due to the fire. In an Instagram story, she wrote, “Pray for Calabasas. Just landed back home and had 1 hour to pack up & evacuate our home. I pray everyone is safe.”
