Former Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson has revealed that she escaped the fires in Malibu by partying in Las Vegas.

Anderson, who is currently starring as Hans Klok's magician's assistant in his Las Vegas show, flew new hubby Rick Salomon and her two sons Brandon, 11 and Dylan, 9 - to the city to keep them away from the fires.

She said: "Las Vegas is fun - my kids are becoming even better golfers! We avoided the fires and stayed here and played together out of the smoke. The schools were closed too.

"I've got two shows to do tonight and then we go home."

Since arriving home at her beach house in fire-torn Malibu on Sunday, Pamela's been doing her utmost to help out, swapping her red swimsuit for a less-than-sexy fluorescent orange vest and helped direct traffic so children could cross the road near her boys' school.
