Katy Perry was forced to scrap a concert in her native Santa Barbara on Saturday thanks to the California wildfires devastating the area.

The blaze — which began last Tuesday — has driven more than 30,000 people from their homes in Santa Barbara County in the past week, and it prompted the “I Kissed A Girl” hitmaker to postpone her show at the Santa Barbara Bowl at the last minute.

“What’s most important right now is fighting the fires that threaten my hometown and saving Santa Barbara,” Katy said in statement explaining her decision.

“Naturally, I am very upset, but I understand the circumstances and am counting down the days when we can all be back at the Bowl to celebrate Santa Barbara and experience The Hello Katy Tour Grand Finale! My prayers are with you, Santa Barbara.”

The rescheduled show will take place on August 30.
