ACTOR Nora Fatehi was forced to evacuate Los Angeles following the devastating wildfires in California.

In an Instagram story shared Wednesday night, Fatehi explained that she had just received an evacuation order and was heading to the airport.

“I’m in LA, and the wildfires are crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this. This is insane. We just got an evacuation order like five minutes ago, so I quickly packed all my stuff, and I’m evacuating out of here, out of this area,” she said in the video.

The actress, known for her dance performances in songs like “Manohari”, “Dilbar”, and “Jehda Nasha”, also expressed concern about her flight.

“I have a flight today, I really hope I can catch it. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled because this is scary. I have never experienced this before. I am going to keep you guys updated. Hopefully, I can get out on time. I hope people in LA are safe,” she added.

The wildfires have caused significant destruction in Los Angeles, with at least five fatalities and over 1,000 structures destroyed. The flames have ravaged homes and businesses, forcing many residents, including high-profile celebrities, to flee.
