Selling Sunset's Chrishell Stause breaks down as she recalls 'PTSD' from watching house burn down after being evacuated amid LA wildfires

Chrishell Stause and her Australian spouse G-Flip were forced to evacuate her $3.3m Hollywood Hills mansion amid the deadly Los Angeles widfires. 

The Selling Sunset star has given an update after their evacuation, revealing that the catastrophic fires had dredged up some long-forgotten trauma.

Chrishell took to Instagram on Thursday to share a clip promoting her latest series The Traitors, which was airing in the US that night.

The promo shifted gears when Chrishell shared how she had been coping after her evacuation, revealing that she, G-Flip and faithful pooch Gracie were all safe and sound.

'Hello from California,' Chrishell began the clip.

'It was an extremely long two nights. I've had no sleep, we did evacuate last night but thank God they put the fire out quickly. 

'If it happened the night before when the winds were happening  and they weren't allowed to fly it would've been a complete different story.'

Chrishell added that, despite being evacuated to safety she was still in a 'red zone' meaning she was not completely out of danger.  

'I'm so thankful,' she said. 'We're still in the red zone, that means we still have to leave at any moments notice.'

She also took a moment to acknowledge the awkward timing of promoting a  television series in the middle of a major catastrophe.

'I felt odd posting that but maybe you needed a little reprieve, Maybe you need escapism. I know here in California we could use a little bit,' she said.   

'I'm just asking you to be kind I have a job to do I love doing the show.' 

Chrishell also shared that her experience in the deadly LA wildfires had dredged up long forgotten trauma. 

'Last night reminded me when I was 12 years old watching my house burn and everything I owned in it, which wasn't a lot obviously at the time,' she said. 

She added that the memory had triggered 'a little' PTSD, before G-Flip, real name Georgia Claire Flipo, helped her to 'snap out of it'.

'A little PTSD  from that whole experience that I completely forgot about until last night as I'm standing there in shock,' she said.

'Luckily I had my partner who is amazing who snapped me out of it and helped me stay focussed.'

The post was met with an outpouring of well wishes from friends and followers.

'You're amazing sending all our love and healing to everyone in LA from Aussie land to you G and Gracie,' former MAFS star Bella Frizza wrote.

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Delores Catania also chimed in with: 'I'm here for you if you need anything. Stay safe.'

Australian hitmaker Tones And I added: 'love you, g and Gracie. Thinking of you angels today xxx'

'Immediate evacuation in my area,' Chrishell captioned a post made to her Instagram Stories on Thursday.

'Me, G, and Gracie are safe and out of the house,' she went on, ending the post with five broken heart emojis.

Earlier today, the reality TV star shared a map of the inferno sweeping through the surrounding neighbourhoods and asked her 4million social media followers to pray for her family.

'Thankfully, my area is safe for now,' she wrote, before adding: 'Impossible to sleep while your city burns. Please pray for us.'

At least 11 people have been killed as catastrophic fires rage through Los Angeles for a fourth straight day. 

More than 10,000 structures have been burned down, with a total of 29,053 acres of land scorched in one of Los Angeles' most horrific disasters to date.
