Dick Van Dyke, Cher y Barbra Streisand se encuentran entre los miles de residentes de Malibú que se han visto obligados a abandonar sus hogares mientras un incendio forestal de rápido avance arrasa el sur de California.
Van Dyke, que cumplirá 99 años el viernes, anunció en Facebook que él y su esposa, Arlene Silver, huyeron de su casa en la ladera de una colina valuada en 8 millones de dólares en un viaje seguro, pero se vieron obligados a dejar atrás a su amado gato en medio del caos.
“Arlene y yo hemos logrado evacuar sanos y salvos a nuestros animales, excepto Bobo, que escapó cuando nos íbamos”, escribió el legendario actor.
Dick Van Dyke’s home is threatened by a Malibu wildfire.
“Estamos orando para que él esté bien y para que nuestra comunidad en Serra Retreat sobreviva a estos terribles incendios”.
La estrella de “Mary Poppins” compartió un video de 39 segundos de su precioso gato naranja jugando en un jardín en una publicación de seguimiento, escribiendo en el título: “Espero que Bobo esté bien”.

The intense inferno, referred to as the Franklin Fire, was first reported around 10:45 p.m. Monday as a small brush fire, and has since jumped the Pacific Coast Highway and road all the way to the ocean, prompting mandatory evacuation orders.
The flames – fueled by strong winds – moved into the Serra Retreat area around 1 a.m. Tuesday, where they are threatening structures.
The house across the street from where Van Dyke lives reportedly burned down, ABC News reported, adding that the home of the “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” actor was spared from the flames.
Cher also fled with her pets to safety Monday night, the New York Times reported, with her publicist confirming the “Believe” hitmaker is sheltering at a hotel.
Streisand’s team is still awaiting word on whether the two-time Oscar winner evacuated, the outlet reported.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the seething fire had spread to more than 2,800 acres and was almost completely uncontained.
About 6,000 people and 2,000 structures have been ordered to evacuate in an area dotted with mansions, with at least 8,100 homes and buildings considered under threat.
