JoJo Siwa Prepares for Evacuation Amid Los Angeles Wildfires

JoJo Siwa prepares as wildfires threaten Los Angeles

JoJo Siwa, that vibrant internet star we all adore from her "Dance Moms" days, recently faced a harsh reality: prepping her Los Angeles home in case she had no choice but evacuate. With wildfires raging nearby, JoJo made sure her most treasured items were ready if she had leave in a hurry.

Hollywood Hills in danger

Right now, those iconic Hollywood Hills, a haven sprinkled with celebrity homes, are under mandatory evacuation alerts. The devastating fires have already claimed five lives and are affecting around 130,000 people. Just look at how fierce these fires are: The Palisades Fire has already burned 17,000 acres, and over in Eaton, more than 10,000 acres are gone.

JoJo Siwa's near miss in Tarzana

Living in Tarzana, a stone's throw from where flames from Palisades were flaring up, JoJo knew she had act fast. Her girlfriend, Kath Ebbs from Down Under, took us behind-the-scenes on social media, showcasing JoJo's quirky yet practical packing choices in a playful video clip. In it, Ebbs teases, “Want a peek at what my girlfriend packed in case we need a quick escape? Ready? Ready?” Then we see JoJo proudly holding up her precious “Karma best costume” and a bedazzled construction vest, symbols packed with memories.

Keeping special memories safe

Inside her home, JoJo was busy gathering all those keepsakes, making sure her framed “Boomerang” costume was good go. As she carefully placed it in her car, she said, “This isn't just a costume; it represents my life.” Her song “Boomerang,” all about tackling online bullying, has raked in over 900 million views since its 2016 release. She couldn't bear losing that memento. Even amid this chaos, JoJo let her fans know her important stuff — like legal papers and family photo archives — were safely stored, so that was one less worry.

Staying informed and connected

JoJo and Kath shared a sweet moment with their audience, snuggling up and keeping vigil through their neighborhood watch updates, making sure they were in-the-know about every twist and turn in this fiery saga.
