In her post, Field shared the view from her house as the blaze began making its way through the Pacific Palisades area on Tuesday January 7, fueled by dry brush and wind gusts up to 100 miles an hour.

'This is the progression of what I saw over the last week from when I could see the beginning of the fire from my backyard,' she said on social media, beginning with a photo of brown smoking emerging over a lush, green hillside.
