Stars shaken up in Los Angeles earthquake
Kelly Osbourne, La Toya Jackson and Busy Philipps are among the stars who were given a jolt in the early hours of Friday morning (07Sep12) when an earthquake shook Los Angeles.
A 3.4-magnitude tremor struck near downtown L.A. just after midnight local time, waking local residents and setting off car and building alarms across the city.
Several L.A.-based stars took to Twitter.com to tell followers
about the drama, with Michael Jackson's sister La Toya revealing
the disaster hit while she was chatting with her pal Brenda, Lionel
Richie's first wife.
She writes, "We just had the worst felt earthquake ever! I'm on the
phone with Brenda Richie + screaming! I'm so nervous..."
Twilight actress Rachelle Lefevre told how she rushed to rescue her
dog, tweeting, "Earthquake! Just realized I would crawl through
rubble to get to my dog if I had to! Man did I run to grab him!!!"
while Jason Alexander adds, "Well, that little rumbler shook the
house here in LA."
Osbourne asked, "Was there just another earthquake in LA or am I
crazy?", and Cougar Town star Philipps mused, "Thought someone was
breaking in maybe, then saw the light fixtures moving and that's
how my husband and I knew it was an earthquake."
