With victims piling up, a few celebrities have been caught in the wake of the natural disaster - Jimmy Kimmel was evacuated from a small island in French Polynesia, while Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart were also evacuated from a beach in Vancouver - and others have Tweeted out thoughts/prayers.
