Arnold Schwarzenegger Gets Prayers and 'Choppa' Memes After Evacuating Home
Arnold Schwarzenegger is among the celebrities who was awoken early on Monday with news that he had to flee his mansion in the ritzy suburb of Brentwood after a wildfire broke out.
The "Terminator: Dark Fate" star announced the news to fans on Twitter.
"We evacuated safely at 3:30 this morning. If you are in an evacuation zone, don’t screw around. Get out. Right now I am grateful for the best firefighters in the world, the true action heroes who charge into the danger to protect their fellow Californians."

Schwarzenegger wasn't the only celebrity to be evacuated, as other stars like LeBron James and Ryan Phillippe were forced to leave their homes behind as the California fires raged on.
Fans immediately flooded the Terminator star's Twitter feed with well-wishes during the devastation.
"I hope you and your family stay safe, and your neighbors as well!" one fan wrote.
Another tweeted, "Glad you are ok Arnie. How scary. Yes people must get out it can spread in an instant and get trapped."
Other fans took the moment to send Schwarzenegger support in the form of his famous taglines and action movie references, which have been immortalized on the Internet in the form of popular memes.
Hundreds of "Predator" junkies couldn't help themselves by instructing Schwarzenegger to "Get to the choppa!"
Others dusted off his classic line in "Eraser," when he tells actress Vanessa Williams, "Come with me if you want to live."
In wake of the fire, Paramount Pictures has cancelled Monday's Hollywood premiere of "Terminator: Dark Fate."
The Getty Fire, which broke out near the hillside art museum, was first seen around 1:30 AM and quickly spread along the 405 Freeway.
It has burned more than 600 acres and caused 10,000 structures to be placed under mandatory evacuation orders.
Several homes have burned down and been damaged in the fire, and crews continue to battle the blaze.
Schwarzeneggers' son-in-law, Chris Pratt, thanked the firefighters for their heroic efforts and vowed to donate to the LAFD.
