Hollywood star Tom Cruise has sent a message of support to his fellow celebrities back in California as the state struggles with a series of wildfires. "I wish everybody well back there," said the star, who is currently in the UK for the London premiere of his new film Lions For Lambs.

A host of A-listers have found their luxury pads under threat, and stars such as Mel Gibson, Tom Hanks, Sting and Friends actresses, best pals Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox, may find themselves among the 250,000 people forced to flee their homes. "I'm real scared," said Britney Spears, who has a home in the area.

Singer Olivia Newton John and X Files star David Duchovny, based in trendy Malibu, have already fled their multi-million dollar properties, and as the blaze heads even further down the Pacific Ocean coast, Jim Carrey, Barbara Streisand, Val Kilmer and Pierce Brosnan - who all live in the exclusive beachside community - will be hoping to escape the flames

Govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger praised his state's quick response to the emergency during a visit to see evacuees in San Diego.
