According to CNN, Lebron spoke to reporters about him having to evacuate his home so quickly because of the blazing fire. "It's just challenging at that hour, getting my family, getting my kids, getting everybody and having to evacuate at such a rapid, rapid rate," he said. 

"You don't really have much time to think about what you can get or what you can do. You just got to get out and get to safety."

The Getty fire continues to spread and is only 15% contained according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The National Weather Service also issued a red-flag warning which means the temperatures, winds and humidity are perfect to start more blazes according to CNN.
