KIM and Kourtney Kardashian were given an hour’s warning to grab what they could and flee their star-studded neighbourhoods, as dangerous fires continue to rage through California.

KIM Kardashian was given just one hour to evacuate her Calabasas mansion with her three kids, as devastating fires continue to rage through California.

The 38-year-old was told she needed to flee the dangerous area shortly after she landed in LA following a business trip in San Quentin, northern California.

Taking to Instagram to post photos of the vivid flames spreading throughout Los Angeles, the reality TV mogul asked her followers to “pray for Calabasas.”

Kim revealed to her millions of followers that her and kids North, Chicago and Saint only “had 1 hour to pack up & evacuate our home.”

On Thursday night, the City of Calabasas’ official Twitter account announced that the Woolsey Fire grew to over 2,000 acres with 0 percent containment. The Los Angeles County Fire Dept. ordered a mandatory evacuation in all areas north of the 101 freeway; voluntary evacuations were in effect for Calabasas areas south of the 101.
