Darren Hayes took to Instagram to let his fans know that he was safe from the LA fires:
“I’m safe from the LA fires which feels like a selfish thing to post but only doing so because of the many caring and concerned who have reached out. This could change in an instant. I live adjacent to a mandatory evacuation zone. This was the sky near midnight last night but no fires anywhere in sight. Following all of the orders from the police and fire departments. I am of course devastated for what is happening and for my friends who have lost homes and all of us who live here who have seen our community burn to the ground. So grateful to fire fighters and everyone who went from zero to 100 in a nanosecond to help those in need. I feel strangely sad and numb. Unable to sleep last night because things could change in a heartbeat. I’ll keep you updated if my neighborhood changes from ‘warning’ to ‘evacuate’.”
In an update post where he shared an image of his dog, he said the following:
“I’m so lucky my goddaughter and her folks took us in. We are safe and evacuated out of precaution. The red zone is literally at the end of my street. So many of my friends have lost their homes. This is devastating. Just praying this ends soon.”
Unfortunately, due to the blazing fires, over 200,000 people were forced to flee their homes.

Kristin’s thoughts: Hearing about disasters that cause severe damage to homes, lives, and animals is always heartbreaking. With that being said, I am really relieved to know that Darren and his dog made it out safely.
