Amidst the chaos of the Malibu wildfires, actress Jane Seymour shared her harrowing evacuation experience. Forced to flee her home as flames encroached, Seymour prioritized the irreplaceable. In a recent interview, she recounted the terrifying moments and revealed the few items she managed to save.
The fire, which burned alarmingly close to her Pacific Coast Highway property, left Seymour deeply shaken, yet grateful for the firefighters' heroic efforts. She described the surreal scene of news crews positioned directly in front of her house as the inferno raged around them.
In the rush to escape, Seymour grabbed only the bare necessities: the clothes on her back, an extra sweater, and, most importantly, a couple of books. These weren't just any books; they were precious relics saved by her mother from a concentration camp during wartime. These irreplaceable pieces of family history were the only possessions she felt compelled to rescue.
Seymour's social media posts documented the devastating fire, showcasing the firefighters' bravery and the proximity of the flames to her residence. She expressed gratitude for their tireless work and urged her followers to support one another during this challenging time. Her message emphasized the strength and resilience of the community in the face of adversity.
The Franklin Fire, which started near Pepperdine University, quickly spread to over 4,000 acres, forcing numerous evacuations, including other celebrities like Dick Van Dyke and Mira Sorvino. As of recent reports, the fire is now 30% contained.
Amidst the crisis, Seymour attended the 64th Annual Christmas Luncheon, where she was recognized for her philanthropic work and career accomplishments. The event supported a holiday toy drive for Children's Hospital Los Angeles, highlighting Seymour's dedication to charitable causes.
