The fast-moving Woolsey Fire in Malibu, Calif., has destroyed dozens of homes including Caitlyn Jenner's house, which was featured on her reality show I Am Cait, according to Los Angeles TV station KABC.

The Woolsey Fire is one of a few that have ravaged California over the past few days. The Camp Fire has been burning north of Sacramento for days and forced the entire town of Paradise to evacuate.

In Southern California, the Woolsey Fire began in Simi Valley on Thursday and jumped the 101 freeway in Ventura County to the beachside enclave of Malibu. More than 75,000 homes in Ventura and Los Angeles counties were under evacuation orders as of Friday morning. That fire also ripped through the town of Thousand Oaks, where 12 people died in a mass shooting in a bar earlier this week.

Lady Gaga, Alyssa Milano, and Melissa Etheridge are among those who've had to evacuate, according to Variety. Cher, Milano, and Etheridge tweeted about the dire situation.

The fire also claimed the famed Paramount Ranch in Agoura Hills, where countless Hollywood productions have been shot over the decades, the most recent being HBO's Westworld, The Hollywood Reporter notes.

Jenner bought her Malibu home that was the centerpiece of her reality show in 2015. Jenner's stepdaughter Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West's home is currently in danger of being engulfed, according to TMZ.
