evacuees and volunteers.
In a video on website TMZ, Lady Gaga told the audience "I know
this is not easy" and encouraged people to talk to mental health
workers on site if needed.
"I know that a lot of you are feeling a lot of pain right now,
and a lot of shock," she said. "I feel kind of in a daze, and
I'm not really sure when or how this is going to hit me."
Neil Young wrote on his website that California was "up against

fire, now another."

On Sunday, Kim Kardashian spoke about the "really rough week" in her
home in the evacuated town of Calabasas as well as nearby Thousand
Oaks, site of a mass shooting that claimed 12 lives.
"Our hearts are broken," Kardashian said as she stood with her
sisters and mother to accept an honor at the People's Choice Awards
in Santa Monica.
"As horrible as this has been, it's been amazing to see the
resilient spirit of everyone involved," she added.
Actor Charlie Sheen posted on Twitter on Friday that he was unable
to locate his parents, former "West Wing" star Martin Sheen and wife

Zuma Beach in Malibu, where he said the couple were fine and
"probably going to sleep in the car tonight."
Sheen said the fire was the worst he had seen in 48 years of living
in Malibu.
"I've never seen one with this intensity, for this long, that took
out so much property and caused such havoc," he said.
