Jane Seymour Stays in Malibu Despite December Fire Evacuations

Jane Seymour is digging her heels into the Malibu sand. Despite a growing trend of Hollywood stars packing up and leaving California, the 75-year-old actress insists she is not going anywhere, according to Us Weekly ^[2].

Seymour, best known for her role in "Live and Let Die," told Page Six that the magic of the local community is too strong to abandon. "I honestly travel the world, and there is something magical about where we live [in Malibu] and the community we’re in," she explained in a recent interview. Her stance comes as other high-profile figures exit the Golden State spotlight.

This loyalty has been tested severely. The New York Post reported that Seymour most recently had to evacuate her home in December 2024 ^[1]. The departure was not a leisurely stroll; sources say she left with only the clothes on her back and a handful of cherished keepsakes. It was a stark reminder of the volatile nature of living in a fire-prone coastal enclave.

Yet, for Seymour, the inconvenience and danger do not outweigh the benefits of her Malibu life. She emphasized the unique sense of belonging she finds in her neighborhood, which she feels cannot be replicated elsewhere in the world. While her peers may be fleeing rising costs and natural disasters, Seymour seems content to stay put.

The actress’s decision highlights a divide in the celebrity community. Some are seeking cheaper pastures or safer ground, while others, like Seymour, view their homes as irreplaceable sanctuaries. For now, Seymour remains committed to her Malibu address, betting that the magic of the community will continue to outweigh the risks of evacuation.
