Alanna Panday gives update on LA fires

The influencer took to her Instagram and shared, "We left our ski trip early after finding out about the fires. We drove into LA through clouds of smoke, rushing home to pack our lives into a few suitcases or whatever could fit into the back of our car. The thought of evacuating with our entire life packed into this house and potentially returning to a pile of dust was gut-wrenching (sic)."

She further continued and penned an emotional message for those who have to see their house burning. Alanna also shared that she is currently safe and they don't have to evacuate their house as of yet: "I can't even imagine what those who have already lost their homes are feeling right now. We're currently very close to two fires but don't have a Level 3 evacuation warning yet. For now, we're safe, and I want to thank everyone who has reached out (sic)."
