RICKI ROCKED BY INFERNO!

Forced to flee home as wildfire closes in

The wind-driven wildfire has prompted many evacuations

ACTRESS and former daytime talk show host Ricki Lake appeared scared out of her wits, sources tell The National ENQUIRER, when she was forced to flee her beloved home as a fire raged through Malibu’s exclusive Franklin neighborhood.

The California inferno roasted 4,000 acres — sending many other celebs, including Cher and Barbra Streisand, running for safety, sources squeal.

Later, photos show the 56-year-old Hairspray star visibly shaken while caught in traffic as she tried to return in a desperate attempt to check on her home.

Ricki slowly crawled her vehicle past a police checkpoint where the lucky-to-bealive star was passed on to a road leading to her hillside house.
