The former motocross star, whoshares two kids with wife Pink, posted his message on Instagram, Tuesday, as news broke that officers were deployed to evacuated neighborhoods to help combat looting.
“It’s unfortunate that some people take advantage of others in a crisis,” he wrote. “While the Malibu fires have been burning, some locals have been fighting off and defending their property against the fires. There have been sightings of looters breaking into homes. Well, if you are a looter, think twice if you are heading back into Malibu.”
Pink and Hart were forced to flee their home in Malibu, joining 250,000 residents in Southern California that have been evacuated over the weekend, as the fire spreads.
