Just weeks after the death of her mother, Dancing With The Stars contestant Jane Seymour is facing yet another tragedy – as the Malibu wildfires threaten her home.

The British actress and her children have been evacuated from the house, although her husband is still there trying to help the fire fighters salvage as many items as possible.

She says: "I don't want to even consider what I would lose; I would lose all my families memorabilia, I'd lose all my oil paintings, I'd lose, oh gosh, every costume from every movie. There is so much. When I was running out of the house I didn't know what to take.

"My husband is there. He was supposed to leave. There was a mandatory evacuation two days ago. I ran out of there and we got he kids out this morning, but he is determined to support the firemen and he is determined to fight that blaze. It's very, very scary."

Many famous celebrities have been forced to flee their homes to avoid the out of control wildfires, as Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger yesterday declared a state of emergency.
