Christopher Lloyd's home has been burned to the ground by wild fires which broke out in California. The 70-year-old actor has starred in Back To The Future, as Doc Brown, and was filming in Vancouver when the fire reached his property to the north of Los Angeles, reports the Daily Mail.

West Wing actor Rob Lowe reportedly fled with his children as fire engulfed the mountain and flames shot 200ft in the air. Other celebrities that have properties damaged from the wildfire include Jeff Bridges, Michael Jackson, Michael Douglas and Oprah Winfrey.

Snoop Dogg's family members and staff were also among 26,000 residents forced to evacuate their homes on Sunday due to an uncontrollable blaze that has already destroyed 150 homes and threatens 3,500 more. Snoop Dawg was not part of the evacuation because he was not home.

The Grammy-winning rapper, Snoop Dogg, owns a multimillion-dollar home in The Country Estates, an exclusive, gated hillside community in Diamond Bar, Calif. A reporter for Los Angeles' KNX 1070 radio caught up with members of Snoop's entourage, who said they were on their way to retrieve possessions and memorabilia from his house

His $6 million (£4 million) home was one of about 100 affected by the blaze, which started in the San Fernando Valley on Thursday.

The "Back to the Future" actor told ABC's "Good Morning America" that he wouldn't rebuild the $11 million home in the celebrity enclave northwest of Los Angeles. It was among dozens of homes lost in wildfires.

Obama spoke with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenigger and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Vilaraigosa Sunday to discuss the impact of the fires on the state.

"You watch TV, you see these kinds of incidents happening here and there, but you look with a kind of detachment because it's happening ... elsewhere," he said, walking through the rubble. "But suddenly to be in the midst of it, it's a very different awareness."
