ABC News anchor David Muir is being ridiculed on social media for his fashion mistake while reporting on the deadly LA wildfires.

Muir has been labelled “pathetic” and “narcissistic” after using clothed clamps to cinch his waist while wearing a flame-retardant yellow jacket on air.

“As you can see here behind me,” Muir says, before turning away from the camera and exposing his faux pas.

The wooden clothes pegs have been used, presumably to cinch in his waist and make the jacket look more sliming.

Jack Osbourne posted a clip of Muir, alongside the caption: “Nice Jacket Bro. Glad you look nice and svelte with those clothes line pegs, while our city burns to the ground,”.

More than 130,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes.

There have been multiple fires causing serious destruction across California. One impacted many celebrity homes, after the flames tore through the Pacific Palisades.

Another broke out on 7 January near a nature reserve on the north east side of the city.

Residents of a care home were seen being pushed down the street in hospital beds and wheelchairs in order to get them to safety as fast as possible.

One women spoke to the LA Times after getting trapped between Sunset Boulevard and Palisades Drive. She said the fire broke out near the Starbucks and that police were seen running down the street yelling at drivers to abandon their vehicles and ‘run for your lives’.

The LA Fire Department put out a call to ask off-duty firefights to step in and help.

Strong wind has spread the fire, making things even more dangerous and harder to control.

Reaching gusts of around 100mph has also meant that homes have lost power as well as around 15,000 homes having their power shut off to avoid starting any more fires.

Prayers to all impacted.
