The 99-year-old Mary Poppins star and his wife Arlene were forced to evacuate their home in Malibu due to raging wildfire, and were concerned when their beloved cat Bobo escaped as they were trying to leave—but Bobo was soon united with his owners, much to fans' delight.

On December 10, Dick Van Dyke shared on social media that he and his wife Arlene Silver were forced to evacuate their home in Malibu due to raging wildfires.

They were able to gather all of their animals during the evacuation, but their beloved cat Bobo escaped as they were leaving.


Thankfully, the Mary Poppins star updated his fans with some happy news a couple of days later.

The newly-turned 99-year-old actor said in his post immediately following the evacuation:

“Arlene and I have safely evacuated with our animals except for Bobo, who escaped as we were leaving."
“We’re praying he’ll be ok and that our community in Serra Retreat will survive these terrible fires.”

Later that day, Van Dyke shared an adorable video of Bobo from a few years earlier, captioning the post:

"Hoping Bobo is ok"

Given the magnitude of support from fans and magic of social media, Van Dyke reported the next day that animal control had gotten involved and Bobo was found safe and sound, commenting on his first post:

"We found Bobo as soon as we arrived back home this morning."
"There was so much interest in his disappearance that Animal Control was called in to assist. But, thankfully he was easy to find and not harmed ❤️"
