CHARLIE Sheen lost touch with his parents, actors Martin and Janet Sheen, amid evacuations for the rapidly spreading wildfires across California.

The actor made a plea on Twitter on Friday night, asking the public that “if anyone has eyes on them,” to please let him know. The couple was last reported to be in a group near Zuma Beach in Malibu.

“I cannot get ahold of my parents, Martin and Janet Sheen. They are in the group, at the staging ground near Zuma Beach,” Sheen wrote. “If anyone has eyes on them, please let me know that they are safe and sound in the middle of this horrific scenario. Thank you in advance.”

Just after 5pm AEDT on Saturday, his father emerged on Fox 11 LA News, telling everyone he was alive, but feared his home may have been destroyed.

State officials put the total number of people forced from their homes at about 250,000. Evacuation orders included the entire city of Malibu, which is home to 13,000, among them some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

The news comes as Caitlyn Jenner’s Malibu home has reportedly been destroyed in the California fires, while other celebrities including Kim Kardashian were forced to evacuate as the blazes approached.

The fast-moving wildfire in Southern California has also scorched a historic movie site used by the HBO series Westworld and Dr Quinn Medicine Woman.

TMZ reported that Jenner’s home was burned, but her publicist said that was not yet confirmed.

The Olympic gold medalist later posted a clip to Instagram with her friend Sophia Hutchins, saying they were both safe.

“We don’t know if the house made it or not,” Jenner said.

“We’re having a vodka, it’s been a hell of a morning,” Hutchins added.

The death toll from the fires is now at nine but authorities fear it could go higher.

Kim Kardashian West, Iggy Azalea, Scott Baio, Will Smith, Lady Gaga, Cher, Denise Richards, Melissa Etheridge and Guillermo del Toro are among numerous celebrities forced to evacuate their homes, in some cases hurriedly trying to arrange transport for their horses.
