A grim Gerard Butler returned to his Malibu home on Saturday to find it completely destroyed by the fast-moving Woolsey fire, a day before his birthday.

And on Sunday he shared an Instagram of the devastation as he stood in front of the remains of building and his burned out truck, the Daily Mail reports.

The 48-year-old captioned it: "Returned to my house in Malibu after evacuating. Heartbreaking time across California.

"Inspired as ever by the courage, spirit and sacrifice of firefighters. Thank you @LosAngelesFireDepartment. "

And he ended with a heartfelt plea saying: "If you can, support these brave men and women at SupportLAFD.org."

The actor, who hails from Scotland, looked worried as he emerged from his property followed by girlfriend Morgan Brown.

Both were wearing heavy green jackets, jeans, boots and face masks around their necks.

Authorities have ordered the entire evacuation of Malibu as the fast-moving Woolsey blaze moves towards the Pacific Ocean.

They are just the latest celebrities to be hit by the massive fire which has engulfed at least 283,279ha and many structures since it started on Thursday.

Sadly my house couldn’t be saved. The courageous firefighters were able to save my cars and personal items recovered from my home. I thanked the fire chief and his team of firemen for all of their hard work. He took the time to explain what happened and I’m grateful for all of their hard work trying to save my home. Sad we lost our home but grateful that my family is safe. Luckily we quickly evacuated our house yesterday after a patrol car drove up the street announcing mandatory evacuations. I’m grateful for my lovely neighbors and friends who kept me informed and for their help this evening. 🙏 Thank you all for caring 💜 #woolseyfire #malibu. Special thanks to Fire Chief Rash and his brave team of firefighters. 🙏
