Ashton Kutcher stepped up to help his friends in need amid the massive wildfires across L.A. County, which has destroyed more than 1,000 structures and forced the evacuations of over 80,000 people.
The That ’70s Show star, 46, was seen lending a helping hand on Wednesday as he hosed down a home near burning properties, located near Reese Witherspoon’s former residence in the Pacific Palisades.
An insider told DailyMail.com that he was checking in on his former boss Chuck Lore’s ex-wife, Arielle Lorre.
Kutcher, who shares two children with his wife Mila Kunis, owns multiple homes in Southern California, including a farmhouse in Beverly Hills.
The couple’s sprawling property is six acres high above Beverly Hills with views of the valley.

The raging infernos are tearing through neighborhoods that dozens of A-listers call home, including Ben Affleck, Jhene Aiko, Tom Hanks, Miles Teller, and the Kardashians, among others.
Firefighters are continuing to battle the ferocious wildfires in Los Angeles suburbs, which have devoured buildings and sparked panicked evacuations as hurricane-force winds fueled rapid blaze growth.
Frightened residents abandoned their cars on one of the only roads in and out of the upscale Pacific Palisades area, fleeing on foot from the 3,000-acre inferno.
Steven Guttenberg told KTLA television that friends of his were impeded from evacuating because others had abandoned their cars in the road.
‘What’s happening is people take their keys with them as if they’re in a parking lot. This is not a parking lot. We really need people to move their cars,’ the actor, 66, said.
‘If you leave your car behind, leave the key in there so a guy like me can move your car so that these fire trucks can get up there.’
Gutenberg also leapt into action, helping firefighters by moving cars in order to make room for the incoming fire trucks.
‘It’s really important for everybody to band together and don’t worry about your personal property. Just get out.’
He added: ‘Get your loved ones and get out.’

Schitt’s Creek star Eugene Levy is a long-time member of the affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood. He and his wife Deborah Devine purchased their home there in 2006 for $2.4million, Tuko reported.
As the blaze ravaged through his hometown, Levy, 78, told the Los Angeles Times that he got caught in the gridlock of fleeing locals.
The actor told the paper, ‘The smoke looked pretty black and intense over Temescal Canyon. I couldn’t see any flames, but the smoke was very dark.’
Oscar-nominated actor James Woods, 77, took to X with multiple posts detailing the damage as a fast-moving wildfire in the Los Angeles hillsides was exacerbated by a fierce windstorm in Southern California.
‘Hope everybody gets out safely … leaving,’ said Woods, an Academy Award-nominee for the films Salvador (1986) and Ghosts of Mississippi Leaving (1996), accompanied by a clip of a hillside blaze.
Woods posted a series of photos and clips documenting the damage as he praised the efforts made by first responders to his 4.5 million followers.
‘We were blessed to have LA fire and police depts doing their jobs so well,’ Woods said. ‘We are safe and out.
‘There are several elementary schools in our neighborhood and there was an enormous community effort to evacuate the children safely. Can not speak more highly of the LA fire and LAPD.’
The Casino actor said he was unclear on the condition of his home after he and his family evacuated their home.
