LA'S rich and famous are hiring $2,000-an-hour private firefighters to save their million-dollar homes and businesses as the wildfires rage on.

As the flames continue to force thousands out of their homes, some celebs and billionaires have sparked backlash for their "tone-deaf" move while wealthy residents have hit back at city officials for not doing enough to save their properties.

Keith Wasserman, co-founder of real estate investment firm Gelt Venture Partners, provoked fury after a post on X, asking for "private firefighters" to protect his land in the A-list neighbourhood of the Pacific Palisades.

Keith's post on Friday read: "Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades?

"Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you."

The billionaire owns a mansion in the wealthy area, as well as an upscale outdoor mall, which he is trying to protect from raging fires.

The region has been devastated by the ongoing inferno with emergency services still struggling to contain the blaze there.

Firefighters have been working tirelessly to battle the flames but have been hampered by empty hydrants, according to reports.

LA mayor Karen Bass said that 20 per cent of the city's hydrants had run dry over the last week while Governor Gavin Newsom has called for an independent investigation.

Those able to hire private firefighters say city officials can't be trusted to protect their mansions and businesses but Keith's post sparked debate online.

Social media users criticized the millionaire slamming his call for help as "incredibly tone deaf".

Commenter Sam Vance wrote: "Incredible nerve. His family is evacuated and he's trying to hire private firefighters to risk their lives to save a home he most certainly has insured.

"Incredibly tone deaf."

User Renny added: "So you're suggesting that potentially lifesaving resources (even if 'private') should be diverted to save your house because you're rich while tens of thousands of people try to evacuate?"

Billionaire developer and former mayoral candidate Rick Caruso is also receiving backlash online after it was reported that he had hired private fire crews to protect his properties in the Palisades Village.
