Dick Van Dyke has made it out of harm's way.

The 98-year-old actor's home is among the many at risk as wildfires in Malibu, California, continue to spread. Van Dyke updated concerned fans on Facebook, stating that he and his wife, Arlene Silver, have safely evacuated.

""We safely evacuated with our animals except for Bobo who escaped as we were leaving. We're praying for his safety and the survival of our community in Serra Retreat amidst these terrible fires," he wrote."

The comments section was flooded with prayers and well wishes for "Mary Poppins" star.

One commenter expressed gratitude and asked for prayers for their loved ones, as well as for emergency responders.

"I'm thinking of you and everyone affected. I'm glad you're safe and I hope BoBo gets rescued," another fan wrote.

I'm glad to hear that you are all safe. So glad you are all safe. Praying for you.

A few days ago, a music video for Coldplay's new song, "All My Love," was released, showcasing the actor's home and his decades-long career in Hollywood. The video featured moments of Van Dyke with his family, moments of reflection, and footage of his many awards and accolades.

The actor, who turns 99 on Friday, discusses his life in the video and expresses that he is "not afraid" of death.

"Van Dyke stated in the video that he is aware of the possibility of his death but is not concerned about it because he is not afraid of it. He also expressed his belief, despite being intellectually opposed to it, that he will be okay."

The Franklin Fire, which started around 10:50 p.m. Monday north of Pepperdine University, has expanded to more than 2,800 acres.

"Arlene and I have safely evacuated with our animals except for Bobo escaped as we were leaving. We’re praying he’ll be ok and that our community in Serra Retreat will survive these terrible fires." — Dick Van Dyke
