    Don Cheadle and his family were evacuated from their LA home when the wildfires plaguing the city came within five blocks of their mansion

    The actor, 60, is one of a string of celebrities who have been forced to quit their homes due to the killer infernos, which first erupted on 7 January


    Don said on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' about his and his family's ordeal: "We were about five, six blocks from where it was."

    Jimmy, 57, chipped in: "That's too close".

    Don added he has not yet moved back into his property, adding: "We are still out of the house.

    "I just went back today to make sure that everything was everything. We have electricity now."

    The actor also said his family's evacuation involved "bopping around" in hotels - adding: "We went in one hotel and that one got evacuated. Then we were at another hotel and they were like, 'How long are you going to be here? 'Cuz we got a lot of people. So can you please leave?' So we left."

    Don said he is now staying at a friend's house after they "kindly let us stay in his kids' room".

    He added: "Waking up to the Billie Eilish poster on the wall is really nice."

    Din has been married to longtime partner, actress Bridgid Coulter, 56, since the Covid pandemic.

    As of Monday, (20.01.25) at least 27 people have died in the LA fires, with more than 80,000 people of the city displaced by the raging infernos.

    Fire containment has recently increased, but the strong winds that first fuelled the fires are expected to return until Wednesday (22.01.25.)

    Other celebrities whose homes have been hit by the fires include Billy Crystal, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Joshua Jackson, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Cary Elwes, Cameron Mathison, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.
