Meryl Streep's dramatic escape from the wildfires in LA has been revealed by her nephew, Abe Streep. The renowned actress was forced to flee her home in the Palisades, a popular celebrity neighborhood, as the fires raged through California earlier this month. Like many other celebrities, Meryl shared her harrowing experience on social media, but it was her nephew who shed light on the terrifying ordeal she faced.
In an article for New York Magazine, Abe recounted how Meryl received an evacuation order on January 8, but was unable to leave due to a large tree blocking her only exit. Determined to escape, she borrowed wire cutters from a neighbor and cut a hole in the fence, driving through their yard to safety. Meryl has a home in Pasadena, California, and was among the many who were forced to evacuate as the wildfires spread rapidly across the state.
The fires, known as the Palisades and Eaton Fires, destroyed over 16,200 structures, including homes of numerous celebrities. Meryl's co-star in Only Murders In The Building, Martin Short, also shared his experience of trying to escape the blaze. He recalled how he first saw the flames from his balcony and immediately began gathering family photo albums. However, the situation quickly escalated and he found himself stuck in his car for over an hour trying to navigate through the chaos and reach safety.
Meryl, along with Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short, star in the hit show Only Murders In The Building. The wildfires were not the only difficult event Meryl faced recently, as she announced her shock divorce from her husband of five decades in November 2023. The couple, who share four children and several grandchildren, have been separated for over six years and have chosen to live separate lives.
In the midst of all this upheaval, rumors have surfaced that Meryl may be dating her co-star Martin. They have been seen getting closer in recent months, sparking speculation that they may be more than just friends. However, both have remained tight-lipped about their relationship status.
Meryl's escape from the wildfires was just one of many frightening stories shared by celebrities this month. Stars like Mark Hamill, Britney Spears, Ben Affleck, Billy Crystal, and Eugene Levy all spoke about their own evacuation experiences. Tragically, Jennifer Garner revealed that she lost a friend in the fires, highlighting the devastating impact of these natural disasters.
Despite the challenges she has faced, Meryl remains a beloved and talented actress, known for her powerful performances and compassionate nature. As she continues to navigate through these difficult times, her fans and loved ones offer their support and admiration for her strength and resilience.
