The devastation caused by the Californian wildfires has been immense - burning many areas completely to the ground by destroying everything in their path.

While California's rich and famous elite may be used to special treatment, the wildfires have proven that even all the money and fame in the world can't save anyone - except Anthony Hopkins, it seems, whose house has somehow remained untouched by the flames while everything around it has become heaps of ash.

Aerial images revealing the damage caused by the Woolsey fire show that it narrowly missed the actor's Malibu home.

In the photos, you can see that much of the land around Hopkins' house has been burnt to a crisp, but the Welsh star's property has been left undamaged.

You can even still see two chairs sitting on the lawn, waiting for someone to sit there to look out over the ocean - as if oblivious to what's happened just inches away.

Other celebrities haven't been so lucky - including actor Gerard Butler, who has tweeted videos and photos showing the damage to his home, writing: "Returned to my house in Malibu after evacuating. Heartbreaking time across California. Inspired as ever by the courage, spirit and sacrifice of firefighters. Thank you @LAFD. If you can, support these brave men and women at http://SupportLAFD.org."

He added: "My heart aches for all those who lost their homes and their lives in California. I was one of the lucky ones, my home was only partially destroyed. A lot of people lost everything and will have to rebuild from scratch.

"I am ok and so grateful for all of the well wishes. Please turn your support to those who need it most here, and throughout California."

The Woolsey fire has scorched its way through more than 98,000 acres in the last week, having killed three people, the Daily Mail reports.

The Camp fire, meanwhile, has been the deadliest and most destructive blaze, having killed a total of 63 people.

The town of Paradise, which has a population of just 27,000, has been hit particularly badly, Brock Long, administrator of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) referring to the damage as 'one of the worst disasters' he had ever seen.

Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by the fires.
