These startling pictures show the charred remains of Robin Thicke's mansion after it was destroyed by the wildfires raging through southern California.

The singer's partner April Love Geary, who is pregnant, shared a picture of the front gate and the blackened area where their home once was.

The day before, both shared an image of a cloud of smoke near their home in the celebrity-packed coastal city of Malibu.

"Our house is somewhere in there. I'm so sad but so thankful that we all made it out safe. Praying for everyone in Malibu, our city is up in flames," said Geary.

The blaze broke out in the Hill Canyon area in the south of the state on Thursday and spread quickly, jumping a major road and scorching thousands of acres of land.

The overall death toll from the fires has risen to 23 after the charred remains of 14 more people were found in and around Paradise, a mountain community that has been left devastated.

Actor Gerard Butler also took to Twitter to share a picture of the burnt husks that remained of his car and home following the fire.

He wrote: “Returned to my house in Malibu after evacuating. Heartbreaking time across California. Inspired as ever by the courage, spirit and sacrifice of firefighters.”

Actress Shannen Doherty shared a photo of herself on her wedding day and said she was "devastated" at the loss of her property.

She said: "This place. I got married there. But before that, it's the place @chriscortazzo let me stay in after my dad passed away. It's the place I felt my dad with me.

"It's gone. Fire has taken it away. I'm devastated by all that's happening. My heart is ripped apart."

Reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner’s home in the hills above Malibu was also burned down, TMZ reported.

Many stars have posted messages on social media thanking firefighters and rescue workers.
