Hollywood actress Blanca Blanco gave DailyMail.com an update on what is going on in Malibu amid the horrible Pacific Palisades fires.
Blanco has been staying in a house located by the Getty Villa. While the house did not burn down, the vegetation surrounding the home did.
‘I feel lucky that the house is still standing,’ said Blanca. ‘I am one of the few so I know how incredibly fortunate I am,’ she added.
Things have become very strained in the area, said the Eye For Eye actress.
‘I went to the grocery store and there is not much on the shelves. It’s hard to find bottle water and there is not much bread though there is plenty of pasta and condiments,’ she noted. There has also been a shortage on eggs, but that has been going on for weeks amid the bird flu.
Grocery stores like Pavilions in Malibu are still open.
It also has become stressful to find drinking water and residents have asked to boil their water before consuming it.
Then there are the looters that continue to prowl the neighborhood.

‘I have to boil any water I consume, it takes a while, so that is very different, but I am lucky to have a home,’ she noted.
On Wednesday the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power released a water alert for the Pacific Palisades and adjacent communities ‘north of San Vicente Blvd’ due to ‘heavy ash, debris and pressure fluctuations.’
‘The Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) and State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water strongly advise consumers in the 90272 zip code, and adjacent communities in the LADWP service area north of San Vicente Blvd. to ONLY USE BOILED TAP WATER OR BOTTLED WATER FOR DRINKING AND COOKING PURPOSES until further notice due to low water pressure in the water distribution system stemming from high water usage to respond to the Pacific Palisades wildfire,’ the notice read.
Consumers were urged to follow the recommendation ‘out of an abundance of caution,’ while LADWP officials work to ‘re-pressurize the system and conduct tests to confirm water quality.’
The warning stated that ‘disease-causing organisms,’ including viruses, parasites and bacteria could be present in the water and may cause symptoms ‘such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.’
Blanca also reported that she has seen opportunists in Malibu.

This comes a week after the Finding Nicole actress posed in a red bikini on Malibu beach. ‘I was near some of the homes that burned down to the ground,’ she said choking up. ‘It’s so hard to see this gorgeous coastline get decimated and to see so many broken hearts over it’
‘There are lot of young men on motorcycles with backpacks going down the streets looking for any valuables,’ said Blanco.
‘There is not much here, so not sure what they think they can find. But I did see one man walk out of the ruins of a house carrying a metal box that was still intact. It may have been a safe.’
Looting has been taking place in the area and there have been 20 arrests so far.

LOS ANGELES RUNNING OUT OF WATER
A massive wildfire whipped up by extreme winds has swept through a Los Angeles hillside dotted with celebrity homes – with a state of emergency declared.
The enormous blaze in the Pacific Palisades forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people, some of whom abandoned their cars and fled on foot to safety with roads blocked.
Firefighters battling the blaze, which is burning through about five football fields a minute, warned they were running out of water and supplies, as evacuation warnings spread to Malibu and Calabasas.
Tankers full of water had been dousing the inferno from the skies all afternoon, but all aircraft were later grounded amid deteriorating wind conditions and visibility.
Residents were warned the worst is still yet to come as the raging wildfire burns through more than 2,900 acres of Los Angeles land at an extraordinary rate.
At least 30,000 residents are now under mandatory evacuation orders with more still warned they should be prepared to leave, after a fire that broke out in the foothills near Eaton Canyon has grown to 1,000 acres in just six hours since it began.
A third brush fire has broken out in Sylmar in the San Fernando Valley which recent estimates is around 100 acres big.
The Hurst Fire was estimated at 300 acres with a ‘rapid rate of spread’ and mandatory evacuations this morning. Governor Gavin Newsom announced early today that the state had secured federal funding to help with the fire.
It comes as:
- Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag tragically lost their home in the fires;
- Ben Affleck looked shocked as he returned home to see the advancing blaze;
- A local said he made the potentially life-saving decision to get out of the city;
- An interactive map showed where the blaze is heading next in California.
Pacific Palisades, where houses have already been reduced to rubble, is a celebrity enclave home to Chris Pratt, Reese Witherspoon and Miles Teller among other Hollywood A-listers.
Even more celebrities call Calabasas and Pasadena home, including the Kardashians.
Hellish photos from the inferno’s epicenter show once-decadent million-dollar homes completely obliterated by the wildfire. A spiral staircase and opulent art gallery wall were seen burned to cinders.
Firefighters, which have said there is no hope of containing the fires overnight, are now focusing their efforts on helping residents get to safety.
