Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester and Adam Brody's home was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades wildfire.

On Tuesday morning, a massive 1,200-acre brush fire tore through celebrity enclave the Pacific Palisades. An evacuation order was put into effect with Los Angeles Fire Department saying in a statement: "The Palisades Fire is burning near Palisades Drive. Those nearby should get set for a potential wildfire evacuation by gathering supplies and loved ones."

In shocking new photos shared online, Leighton and Adam's home was destroyed, with the roof burnt away as the flames engulfed the property. Many windows were broken and black smoke ripped through the house. They purchased the sprawling home for $6.5million in 2019 and lived there with their two children.

It featured five bedrooms, six bathroom, and three floors. The A-list couple were only recently at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday evening. According to TMZ, Anna Farris' home and Spencer and Heidi Pratt's home were also ruined by the fires.

Thankfully, the couple, famous for their roles in The Hills, and their entire family managed to evacuate their home safely earlier in the day. Before the evacuation began, Spencer shared a video on his Instagram Stories showing fire officials attempting to control the blaze by dropping water from above onto the nearby mountainside.

The Pacific Palisades, which has residents including Ben Affleck and Tom Hanks, were hit by fires which swept through a Los Angeles hillside dotted with celebrity residences Tuesday, burning homes and prompting evacuation orders. In the frantic haste to get to safety, roadways were clogged and scores of people abandoned their vehicles and fled on foot, some toting suitcases.

A traffic jam on Palisades Drive prevented emergency vehicles from getting through and a bulldozer was brought in to push the abandoned cars to the side and create a path, according to the LA Fire Department.

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden tweeted: "I have directed the @DeptofDefense to rapidly provide additional firefighting personnel and capabilities to the region being impacted by the Southern California wildfires. We also continue to work closely with the National Guard.

"My thanks to the California National Guard and the Nevada National Guard for readying Airborne Firefighting Systems. Ten Navy helicopters with water delivery buckets are on their way."
