Meek Mill has given his thoughts on the wildfires that have been ravaging the city of Los Angeles.

On Wednesday, Meek hopped on his X page and had a message for the people who are suffering through the dangerous Los Angeles wildfires that the Associated Press has deemed as the "most destructive" in the city's history. According to Meek, he knows a bit about fire trauma as his home was lit ablaze once, which caused him to have a form of post-traumatic stress.

"Prayers to la I never knew about fire trauma until my house caught on fire…. I was smelling fire in my sleep jumping up for 3 years… I didnt know that type of trauma existed, so I was just dealing with it as a kid," tweeted Meek. "Prayers to the family's experiencing that first hand!"

Reports have stated that four wildfires spread throughout the Los Angeles area earlier this week, thanks to the Santa Ana winds. The flames forced over 70,000 residents out of their homes, and thousands of firefighters tried to put out the fires.

Los Angeles County Fire Department chief Anthony Marrone revealed that over 1,000 structures have already been destroyed, and two people have died. Footage taken by residents showed how the wildfires turned parts of the City of Angels into a post-apocalyptic disaster.
