Travis Barker’s daughter Alabama frantically asked her fans for prayers on social media as she revealed that newly sparked fires in Calabasas, California, were threatening her safety.
Alabama — who previously revealed she and her brother Landon Barker had been forced to evacuate — shared frightening videos to her Instagram stories on Thursday of a wall of gray smoke rising in the air over Calabasas.
The tony city in Los Angles County — where both her father and stepmother Kourtney Kardashian have mansions — is bordered on the south by Malibu, which has been in flames from the fires.
‘Please pray for our home! It’s right behind us,’ Alabama wrote in a stark text post against a black background accompanying the sinister videos.
Although Travis and Kourtney’s homes are near each other in the elite neighborhood The Oaks of Calabasas, Alabama appeared to be referring to the reality star’s home, as it was featured in one of her videos.
The clip was shot from the other side of the street and included part of Kourtney’s driveway.

Looming in the background were thick plumes of smoke that looked shockingly close to the estate.
However, the actual proximity of the fire wasn’t clear.

Another video appeared to have been dangerously filmed from the driver’s seat of a vehicle driving into the neighborhood through its gates.
Smoke hovered over the horizon as the car drove toward it.
The video didn’t make it clear how far the car was from Kourtney’s house, but these clouds of smoke appeared to be farther in the distance, as a hill was visible to the left in front of the smoke.
Alabama previously revealed that she and her brother Landon were forced to leave their home on Tuesday night due to the wildfire that began in Los Angeles’ upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
‘Just evacuated from my home due to wildfires in Los Angeles, please be safe!’ the Vogue rapper — who boasts 7.4M social media followers — announced via Instastory.
‘They are saying the fires are spreading football field amounts in seconds.’

Alabama — who is named after Patricia Arquette’s True Romance character — also wrote: ‘Pray for California.’
The 21-year-old Over You rocker Instastoried a selfie captioned: ‘Just evacuated praying for everyone the fires have affected.’
When the privileged nepo-babies referred to their ‘homes’ it’s likely they meant the 49-year-old Grammy-nominated drummer’s $2.8M five-bedroom house in The Oaks of Calabasas.
Alabama and Landon could have also been referring to their stepmother Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s nearby $8.5M six-bedroom mansion in The Estates at The Oaks.
The inseparable couple — who welcomed son Rocky Thirteen Barker in 2023 — reportedly own a $14.5M beach house in Santa Barbara, which could be a possible haven in the firestorm.
The Barker kids’ relationship with their mother — Miss USA 1995 Shanna Moakler – appears to be a bit strained since Travis’ three-year marriage to her ended in 2008.
The City of Angels has been hit with severe Santa Ana winds exceeding 100mph in some areas, which resulted in the raging wildfire that have forced 30K residents to evacuate.
Among the local celebrities being evacuated due to the devastation on Tuesday included James Woods, Eugene Levy, Steve Guttenberg, Chet Hanks, as well as Spencer and Heidi Pratt.

California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency and FEMA approved a Fire Management Assistance Grant to provide critical resources for fire suppression efforts.
At least six people have been killed due to the fires, which began rapidly spreading to surrounding suburbs on Tuesday as a windstorm sometimes reaching up to 100 mph carried embers and debris in all directions.
Firefighters valiantly battled the blaze, but their efforts were hampered as they had difficult getting water up to the hilly neighborhood.
According to LAist, the demand for water during the firefight was four times usual levels, which made it impossible to refill water tanks quickly enough to increase water pressure, even though the water never ran out.
On Thursday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass addressed criticism that fire hydrants rans dry by insisting they were filled, but simply were not designed to cope with a disaster of this scale.
Although water supplies faltered due to burst pipes and extreme demand, including water that was diverted elsewhere, the fire was fueled by dry vegetation and extreme winds.
It’s unclear if more water would have had much of an impact on the blaze, as burning embers flew miles from their origins after being carried by the hurricane-force winds, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Nearly 180,000 people currently live in areas under evacuation orders, and hundreds of thousands in the LA area have been without people due to the destruction and high winds.
