According to CBS News, as of Monday morning, the death toll from the California wildfire has risen to 31.

Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes, including Kim Kardashian West and family, Lady Gaga, Scott Baio, Rainn Wilson, and Guillermo del Toro.

They were all ordered to leave their homes for their own safety, while some famous movie and TV sets – including those for Westworld and The Bachelor – have reportedly suffered heavy damage.

Meanwhile, 300 and Olympus Has Fallen star Gerard Butler posted images from his destroyed home.

Butler wrote: “Returned to my house in Malibu after evacuating. Heartbreaking time across California. Inspired as ever by the courage, spirit and sacrifice of firefighters.”

He also posted the following Instagram Video (watchable below) as he walks around the charred remains of his home in Malibu.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, Trump had previously threatened to take funding away from fighting forest fires in California, before tweeting: “These California fires are expanding very, very quickly (in some cases 80-100 acres a minute). If people don’t evacuate quickly, they risk being overtaken by the fire. Please listen to evacuation orders from State and local officials! […] With proper Forest Management, we can stop the devastation constantly going on in California. Get Smart!”
