MALIBU, CA — Actor Martin Sheen told his children via a news camera he was fine Friday after escaping the erratic Woolsey Fire that quickly swept from Ventura County to the coastal city of Malibu.
Sheen was found by Fox 11 after Charlie Sheen tweeted that he could not get a hold of his parents.
The elder Sheen told the Fox 11 reporter he evacuated early Friday to Zuma Beach.
“We’ve watched (the fire) kind of explode,” Sheen told the reporter. “There’s little chance our house survived but we haven’t lost any lives.”
Sheen said the Woolsey Fire, which claimed two lives as of Sunday morning, was the “worst” he’s ever seen.
“We’ve been here since 1970,” said Sheen, who is known for his roles in “The Subject Was Roses,” “Apocalyse Now” and “The West Wing.” “I’ve never seen one with this intensity that took out too much property and caused so much havoc.”
Looking at the camera, Sheen told his children Emilio, Ramon, Renee and Charlie, he and his wife, Janet were fine.

“We’re just fine and we hope you are too,” Sheen said.
Sheen is one of many celebrities to evacuate from the wealthy, seaside community of Malibu. Caitlyn Jenner and Lady Gaga are among the Hollywood elite to have evacuated.
The Woolsey Fire is one of two deadly wildfires to erupt in California in recent days, burning more than 196,000 acres and forcing the evacuation of more than 224,000 residents. A total of 25 people have died in both the Woolsey and Camp fires.
