Former Bond Girl, Jane Seymour was forced to flee her home as wildfires broke out in Malibu, California coming ‘right up to my house’.

The 73-year-old star rushed out after a call from her partner John Zambetti’s son Johnny warning them about a blaze on Monday night at 10.50pm.

Residents, such as Cher and Dick Van Dyke, have been evacuating the area as over 4,000 acres were ravaged by wind-driven flames.

City officials confirmed that 14 buildings have been destroyed, with 13 damaged in what has been called the Franklin Fire.

James Bond legend, Jane revealed she left with nothing but the clothes she was wearing and has been sleeping at friends’ homes ever since.

On the red carpet of the British American Business Council (BABC) annual Christmas luncheon, the Wedding Crashers actress recalled the week.

‘I just literally had jeans and a sweater, which I’ve been wearing for four days and sleeping at different people’s houses,’ she said as reported by Sky News.

Johnny, who lives in Serra Retreat, had called the couple after he saw a glow through the curtains, opening them to reveal ’10ft flames’ outside.

‘[He] called us immediately and said, “Get out. Get out”. We all got out just in time because of that,’ Jane shared.

Her house ‘smells of smoke’ but was thankfully not damaged as fire trucks showed up quickly and ‘saved’ them.

She added: ‘We’re just so grateful. The job the fire brigade did is beyond belief.

‘If you are where I live, and you look up the hill… every house the fire came right up to one inch of the dwelling. It is absolutely incomprehensible to me that so few structures were burned.’

She previously revealed that she almost died after contracting bronchitis and antibiotics were wrongly injected into a vein rather than her muscle, putting her into anaphylactic shock.

When asked about whether she believes anything happens after we die, she said to The Times: ‘I have no idea. I do know that I left my body [after the near-lethal antibiotics].

‘I did see the white light and I did look down and quite clearly see and hear everyone screaming and trying to resuscitate me, which they were able to do.

‘But when you’re out of your body, everything goes very calm.’

The Hollywood icon has also suffered other serious medical issues, including contracting a dangerously high fever from leptospirosis, also known as Weil’s disease.

Jane had pre-eclampsia before the birth of her twins, John and Kristopher, whom she shares with her ex-husband James Keach.

Jane is best known for her role as Solitaire in the 1973 film Live and Let Die, a psychic who 007 — played by Roger Moore — saves from being sacrificed.

She has appeared in various films and TV shows over the years, including Somewhere In Time, Smallville, Jane The Virgin, and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

Most recently Jane appeared in Lindsay Lohan’s Irish Wish which was released in March, sparking controversy over it’s lack of Irish actors.
