Actress Angelina Jolie has reportedly opened up her home for those in need as Los Angeles wildfires continue to ravage homes. The 49-year-old actress is reportedly providing refuge to friends who have been forced to evacuate the Los Angeles area due to the fire.
A source told PEOPLE that the actress is "heartbroken for those who have lost their homes or are impacted by the fires. She's doing everything she can to help, even opening her home to friends who were forced to evacuate.”
The fires which hit the Pacific Palisades- home to many Hollywood A-listers- were reportedly labelled as one of the most destructive wildfires in the history of Los Angeles.
The death toll has risen to 11 and thousands have been evacuated due to the fire.
