Patsy Palmer has shared her heartbreak as devastating wildfires sweep across her ‘hometown’ of Los Angeles – as fellow Brits Alice Evans and Brooklyn Beckham are also impacted by the terrifying incident.
The actress, 52, moved to Malibu in 2014 along with husband Richard and her children and returns frequently to the UK to film EastEnders.
She told in a post on Thursday alongside a picture of the fires that her ‘brain was fried’ and lots of her friends in the area she lives in had lost their homes.
Patsy had returned to the UK last Saturday before the fires broke out and said it was hard being so far away as the fires rage.
Patsy wrote: ‘My heart is broken. My brain is fried today looking at the devastating scenes of the fires AGAIN in my hometown. I just returned home to my home in case after the fires a couple of weeks ago and left on Saturday back to work in the UK and now this.
‘My family are safe but lots of my friends have lost their homes again which is extremely traumatic.

‘Being here so far away is really really hard. I’m praying and crying as I write this. I’m helpless here but praying hard Please reach out if you need anything. Richard and kids are there safe and evacuated.
‘This is huge. Really wasn’t expecting this. Heartbroken. Stay safe.’
Fellow Brit Alice Evans, 56, was also preparing to evacuate her home in LA as the actress posted on her Story saying: ‘We’re now in the ‘pack stuff and be ready’ zone.
‘At least according to the watch duty site that most people are recommending. Thing is where to go?
‘Mainly hearing ‘drive south’. But from what I can see most roads are now totally blocked with back to back traffic. So just waiting. Bags are packed. Waiting and watching.
‘Sending love to everyone. So much love to you all. We’ve got this. We have to.’
Meanwhile Brooklyn Beckham shared a post with a broken heart emoji as he shared a snap of some of the fires.

‘I pinch myself every morning when I wake up and see the ocean it’s like a dream. But I’ve created that.’
She continued: ‘I don’t think I would live in England again. I would like to experience something else in life but I’m not too sure if I will.
‘I’m very happy and grateful for where I am so I’m not going anywhere fast. I don’t know what that might look like. It just depends on life and where it goes. I just think do what makes you happy.’
