Gerard Butler says his Malibu home is now “half-gone” because of the damage caused by the California wildfires.
The 48-year-old actor has taken to his Instagram account to reveal the extent of the devastation caused by the fires, posting a photograph of himself standing in front of the shell of his Malibu home.

Gerard is one of a number of big-name stars who have suffered at the hands of the wildfires.
But movie director Guillermo del Toro considers himself fortunate that the fires didn’t cause even more damage to his property, which also serves as a shrine to horror movie history and is known as Bleak House. The acclaimed filmmaker wrote on Twitter:
Just an update: Bleak House (I am told this morning) seems to be fine. Just minor smoke damage. I am aware about how much this fire has taken, how much has been lost- this is humbling and a blessing.

Elsewhere, Jessica Simpson – who has kids Maxwell, six, and Ace, five, and is currently pregnant with her third child – has been evacuated from her family home.
Kris Jenner has urged her social media following to join her in supporting the California Fire Foundation.
The 63-year-old reality TV star has heaped praise on the firefighters who have been trying to tackle the California wildfires over recent days, and Kris has asked her fans to follow her lead in donating to the foundation.
In a series of tweets, she wrote:
This last few days we have witnessed the most incredible humanity, bravery, compassion and heroism in our California communities, as our firefighters work tirelessly to save lives, homes and precious memories, and our friends and neighbors come together to support one another.

Kris then asked her followers to show their support for the foundation, which she has already donated to.
She said: “Please pray for those affected by the fires and to those who are fighting to keep everyone safe! Join me in donating to the CA Fire Foundation to help the firefighters who are working to rescue people and battle the fires. Donate today to @CAFireFound at (sic)”
Kris’ daughter Kourtney Kardashian has also donated to the foundation and has encouraged her Twitter followers to do the same.
