Darren Hayes has been forced to flee his home in Los Angeles amid the out of control wildfires in the region that have seen the mansions of dozens of celebrities burned to the ground.
The Savage Garden singer shared updates to Instagram on Friday, telling fans and friends that he was safe and sheltering with his goddaughter’s family.
‘I’m so lucky my goddaughter and her folks took us in’ he wrote alongside an image of his dog cuddled up at the family friend’s home.
‘We are safe and evacuated out of precaution. The red zone is literally at the end of my street. So many of my friends have lost their homes. This is devastating. Just praying this ends soon’ he added.
Darren had earlier shared an eerie photo of the blood red sky as fires continue to burn.
‘I’m safe from the LA fires which feels like a selfish thing to post but only doing so because of the many caring and concerned who have reached out’ he wrote.

At least 10 people have been killed as catastrophic fires rage through Los Angeles for a fifth straight day as police carry out a series of looting and arson arrests.
Many celebrities have seen their multi-million dollar mansions razed to the ground as the fire spread to Hollywood Hills and Calabasas, prompting criticism of city officials who have been blamed for failing to adequately prepare for the disaster.
The Calabasas blaze, named the Kenneth Fire, was allegedly caused by an arsonist, who has been apprehended by police.
While nighttime curfews have been introduced to crack down on looters.
As of Friday morning, over 10,000 structures have been burned down, with a total of 29,053 acres of land scorched in one of Los Angeles’ most horrific disasters to date.
