Snoop Dogg’s family has fled the rapper’s home in terror as wildfires continue to rage through California.

The Drop It Like It’s Hot hitmaker’s family and staff were among 26,000 people evacuated from their homes on Sunday (17Nov08) due to the uncontrollable blaze that has already destroyed more than 150 houses in the state.

The star was not at the multi-million dollar house in The Country Estates, an exclusive hillside community in Diamond Bar, at the time of the evacuations. After breaking out on Saturday (16Nov08) the fire has scorched more than 16 square miles, spread across four counties.
