As wildfires continue to ravage Los Angeles, forcing mass evacuation, Israeli actresses Gal Gadot and Moran Atias have taken to social media to document the crisis and express solidarity with affected residents.
Israeli actress Moran Atias shared a harrowing live video on Instagram as she was forced to evacuate her Los Angeles home due to advancing wildfires, joining hundreds of thousands of residents fleeing the dangerous conditions.
"We really need help because this is coming our way," Atias cried out during her emotional Instagram live broadcast. Switching between English and Hebrew, the visibly distressed actress exclaimed, "This isn't real, what a cursed year. Enough already. The fires. They're here. They're evacuating my house now. Dear God. How can I get anything out?"
The actress documented her efforts to protect not only her property but also her neighbors' homes before evacuation. "We've wetted down my house, and now we're going to wet down the two houses next door because the residents aren't home, and then we're leaving," she reported to her hundreds of thousands of followers.
Atias, who remained at her property until the last possible moment, captured footage of the massive flames approaching the area. "I want to thank all these angels helping with water and helicopters, trying to save our homes. God bless you," she said before being forced to leave as authorities closed off her street. "Now, it's in the hands of god," she added.

Meanwhile, "Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot expressed concern for those affected by the devastating fires. "Praying for everyone affected by the fires here in Los Angeles – those who've had to evacuate, who've lost their homes, and the brave first responders on the front lines," Gadot shared on her Instagram stories, adding, "Sending love and strength to all. Please stay safe." The actress later shared an image of Carbon Beach, describing the scene as "devastating."
