Mark Hamill’s Wildfire Escape

Mark Hamill, the legendary actor behind Luke Skywalker in “Star Wars,” faced a harrowing ordeal when wildfires encroached on his Malibu home. Having owned the property for decades, he was initially in lockdown as the fire approached, humorously noting on social media, “I’m not allowed to leave the house, which fits in perfectly with my elderly-recluse lifestyle.”

Eventually, he, his wife Marilou, and their dog Trixie were forced to evacuate, seeking safety at their daughter Chelsea’s home. Mark, beloved for his work in “Star Wars ” and for voicing the Joker in “Batman: The Animated Series,” expressed immense gratitude to first responders and concern for neighbors.
