After the first fire in Southern California's Pacific Palisades neighborhood, several top hotels that were not affected by the flames have become fully booked.

The Daily mail reported that most of the hotel guests were among the more than 30,000 people forced to evacuate their homes due to the devastating fire.

Some of the sold-out hotels include the Beverly Hills Hotel, The Four Seasons Beverly Hills, the Peninsula Hotel and the Waldorf Astoria.

Despite rates reaching $700 a night, that doesn't seem to have been a deterrent for the ultra-rich, whose homes and properties have reportedly been hit by the disaster.

According to a source who was among those evacuated to one of these hotels, rooms were sold out so quickly that people staying there almost didn't get the high-end accommodations they were looking for.

“I evacuated early and immediately called the Hilton. They had about 2 rooms left. I feel lucky I was able to get in,” said Lisa Ann, who owned a $7 million home in the Palisades.

She added: “They sold out so quickly that as soon as people started to smell the smoke, they went to hotels.com.”

Since the influx of guests, the hotel has become quite chaotic, with people and animals everywhere.

“There are people pulling Gucci luggage and animals everywhere, dogs and cats too, I saw a parrot in a cage. It's a madhouse,” added the longtime Palisades resident.

The trauma of the wildfires reportedly caused some of these stricken millionaires to seek shelter elsewhere, outside of California.

“Someone was already looking for a new home on Realtor.com, said they were going to Utah or Oregon. Everyone is freaking out. They want to get out of California,” Ann said.

She also claimed that “stress is very high” for all those affected, which has led many to drown in alcohol as a coping mechanism.

“I mean, what else are you going to do? People are ordering vodka on the rocks, holding the drink. I saw a woman crying while on the phone, mascara everywhere,” Anna added.

While it is now clear that the Pacific Palisades wildfire is the worst to ever hit California, its exact cause remains unclear.

Reports suggest the pearl may have been caused by New Year's Eve revelers using fireworks during the festivities.

According to the evidence reviewed The Washington PostFirefighters were dispatched to the Pacific Palisades Islands shortly after midnight on New Year's Day to respond to a small brush fire that residents say was started by fireworks.

Although the flames were extinguished at the time, a rekindling is now believed to have occurred because satellite images from the previous fire's burn scar overlapped with the origin of the smoke from the Palisades Fire.
