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."
The ongoing wildfires have led to one of the largest evacuation efforts in Los Angeles history, affecting numerous residents including many celebrities in the area. The situation continues to develop as emergency services work to contain the blazes.
