"At 9 o'clock in the morning, it was an idyllic Pacific Palisades, and then by 10 o'clock, 10:30, the sky was dark as if it were nighttime." Earlier, Guttenberg spoke with Los Angeles television station KTLA as he actively worked to try and clear some of the abandoned cars in an area where he said it was hindering people's ability to evacuate."There are people stuck up there. So we're trying to clear Palisades Drive, and I'm walking up there as far as I can, moving cars," Guttenberg told KTLA. "There are families up there, there are pets up there. There are people that really need help."The star told CNN he had been in another area and, while attempting to get home, he was met with "bumper-to-bumper traffic" and chaos, so he got out of his car to try and help. "There were mothers who were hysterical panic attacks, helping them with their suitcases, and they were worried about their families up there because they couldn’t get them out in time," he told Coates. "There were little kids crying. There were people who couldn’t speak English, driving their friends cars or their bosses cars and being careful where they drove."Ultimately, he said, the fire got so close that people were told to get out of their cars and evacuate on foot. He said he spent all day trying to move abandoned cars to make way for firetrucks to be able to get through.Mark HamillMark Hamill was among the thousands of Los Angeles residents who were forced to evacuate their homes due to wildfires."7pm – Evacuated Malibu so last-minute there (were) small fires on both sides of the road as we approached PCH," Hamill wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday night.Hamill said that he, his wife and their dog evacuated and are staying with their daughter near Hollywood.
