Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were praised by royal fans for their efforts to mobilise people to help and support victims of the vicious wildfires that have been spreading destruction in California in recent days.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who live in Montecito, California, released a statement on Thursday urging people to “open their homes” to those evacuated and “check in” on any of their “disabled or elderly neighbours”.

Harry and Meghan’s statement also included a list of fire service charities, animal groups, and other initiatives to support those affected.

It is understood that the Sussexes have donated supplies to those affected, including clothing, children’s items, and other essentials.

They are also believed to have invited into their home friends and loved ones who had been forced to evacuate.

A series of major fires in California have killed 10 people, ravaged communities and sent thousands of people fleeing their properties, including areas dotted with celebrity homes.

Thousands of firefighters were attempting to contain the original Palisades fire, with at least 70,000 people forced to evacuate their homes as the metropolitan area became blanketed in a thick cloud of smoke and ash.

The fires have burned more than 10,000 homes and other structures since Tuesday, when they first began popping up around a densely populated, 25-mile expanse north of downtown Los Angeles. No cause has been identified yet for the largest fires.

Harry and Meghan said in their statement on Thursday: “In the last few days, wildfires in southern California have raged through neighbourhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centres, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life.

“If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate, and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do.

“Be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbours to see if they need help evacuating.

“Some families and people have been left with nothing. Please consider donating clothing, children’s toys and other essentials. The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.”
