The Sussexes live in the sprawling $29 million mansion with their kids, Archie and Lilibet.

Currently, no fires have been reported in the Montecito region; however, their house comes under the ''high fire risk' zone since it is situated just 60 miles from the fires across Malibu, according to Mirror.

It has also been reported that they may face a power cutoff due to blazing fires as several electricity companies around the area may consider shutting down the power as the wildfires continue to spread.
