    Bill Hader has been left "in shock" by the devastation caused by the Los Angeles wildfires

    The 'Saturday Night Live' legend was astounded that his own home in the Palisades survived the terrifying infernos - which have claimed at least 25 lives since January 7 - but is mourning the loss of his "beautiful" neighbourhood.


    Speaking on KTLA 5, he said: "People keep saying 'unreal,' ...it doesn't seem real.

    "I'm sorry, I'm in shock. It's just gone. Everything. The Alphabet streets, which is kind of, to me, the heart of the Palisades, this beautiful, beautiful area is gone. The whole thing is gone."

    The 46-year-old actor - who has three children with ex-wife Maggie Carey - admitted he was "at a loss for words" and thankful his family were able to flee to safety.

    He recounted: "I got a video showing the fire and rushed back, but by the time I got back, [traffic] was gridlocked.

    "I'm glad my family got out. I feel this is such a great community. I really am, like, at a loss for words.

    "I mean, this happened so insanely fast ... it's kind of mind-boggling how fast it happens. So I just hope everybody's safe. That's all you can hope right now."

    Bill has been doing his bit to spread awareness of ways to stay safe and help others amid the disaster and implores anyone given an evacuation notice to act fast.

    He said: "If you get an evacuation notice, just leave.

    "I do know people who were like 'Well, wait and see' and things like, 'I'm in the yellow zone' or whatever. This thing, once it went red, you couldn't get out.

    "Don't listen to your friends who are like 'Ah, you're being a little freaked out.' Just get out."

    A host of stars have devastatingly lost their homes, including Paris Hilton, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal, and Mandy Moore.
