LA influencers slammed for stopping to take selfies and film themselves as deadly fires destroy everything

It is like driving through hell itself down here,

Datig emphasized

All of PCH is on fire right now,

Datig says in the video, describing the apocalyptic scene

Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW."

Authorities have issued a stern warning to residents in the affected areas

I get a little choked up just thinking about all the people from around the world that have reached out to me,

said Cicetti

When you're seeing it on the news, or you're seeing it five miles away in Malibu or whatever, it's a lot different than when you're being told you're next,

said Cicetti

I have nothing with me except my car and my phone,

said Farid

Right across the street from us, the fire started going up the hill,

said Brian, who spent the night sleeping in his car before seeking shelter

It's hard not to think it's unrelated to what's happening on the planet,

said Sansing, 54

This has been a shock that is still sinking in. But we're in survival mode, so we're just grabbing certain necessities and getting out,

said Stevens-Shippen

I think our house is gone. I've tried calling home, and I've tried a couple of neighbors. It's just not ringing,

sighed the 76-year-old

You got the ashes to worry about in your lungs. You got your life to worry about with these 80- to 100-mile an hour gusts,

Sarahlee Stevens-Shippen told AFP

This time was different -- the fire just came down the hill so fast because of the wind,

she said

I can't believe LA is surrounded" by wildfires

she said

When I saw the glow of the fire coming over the mountain yesterday about eight o'clock, I took off,

she said

My only transportation is a bike and I couldn't imagine trying to scramble to carry anything in that situation,

one person said

I grew up thinking firemen literally just put out house fires,

she said

When you're in Mexico so you couldn't evacuate your apartment & cars and now it's burned down in the Palisades fire,

she said

To all the firefighters in first responders, thank you for your unwavering dedication and courage in the face of these devastating fires in California,
