Beyoncé’s family reveal devastating tragedy following LA wildfires as she becomes latest celeb to be affected

A member of Beyoncé’s family has revealed a devastating tragedy following the LA wildfires as she becomes the latest celebrity to be affected.

The 'Lemonade' singer's mum, Tina Knowles, has taken to Instagram yesterday (9 January) to share a lengthy statement over her 'loss' as the deadly Los Angeles wildfires continue to cause devastation for thousands.

The 71-year-old, who is also mother to 'Cranes in the Sky' star Solange, posted a video of a sunset taken from her Malibu home with dolphins swimming in the sea in front of her.

She captioned the short clip: "This is what I was looking at on my birthday this past weekend from my tiny little bungalow on the water in Malibu! It was my favourite place, my sanctuary, my sacred Happy Place. Now it is gone!!

"God Bless all the brave men and women in our fire department who risked their lives in dangerous conditions. We thank you for your dedication and bravery and for saving so many lives.

"This could have been so much worse with out the dedication of the disaster workers and first responders."

Tina went on to share she was 'so sad' for the people who tragically lost their family members in fire adding: "My deepest prayers are with you!!!!!!

"To the people who lost their homes and belongings, I can only imagine how it feels to lose properties and everything you own! My heart and deep prayers go out to all of you.

"I cannot imagine the pain and suffering and fear that you are enduring... I am praying diligently for our beautiful City of Los Angeles!! We are resilient though and we will recover!"

Signing off, Tina assured: "This too shall pass."

Paris Hilton and Milo Ventimiglia are among many celebrities who have also had to watch their property burn down.

ABC News has spoken to LAPD official, Lyndsey Lantz, about how the firefighters are faring on the front lines of the destruction.

"We're doing okay," Lantz explained. "Everyone's tired, you know, these first few days, especially, getting everything organised, getting assignments out, figuring out where the fire is, where it's going, how the weather is changing, how the fire is creating new weather.

"These are, these are the most important and most difficult hours so it's one step at a time, it's one hour at a time, and we're all just working together as best we can."

Responding to the fire being dubbed 'apocalyptic', Lantz continued: "The fire is reaching parts of the city that are seemingly unconnected to this area, the Palisades.

"On any other given day here in Southern California, downtown is just brown. The air is dirty and sooty, and your eyes burn wherever you are."

Lantz went on to declare: "Apocalyptic is not an exaggeration. We're all connected - these winds are touching everyone today, and I know that the evacuations and the homes lost are touching everyone.

"If you live in the city of LA and don't know someone that has lost their home, it's a bit of a miracle right now."
