Neil Young has hit out at Donald Trump's climate policy after losing his home in the deadly California wildfires
Last week the US president blamed California's "gross mismanagement of the forests" for the damage caused by the wildfires.
Young responded, writing on his website that California was "up against something bigger than we have ever seen."
"California is vulnerable - not because of poor forest management as DT (our so-called president) would have us think. We are vulnerable because of climate change; the extreme weather events and our extended drought is part of it.
"Firefighters have never seen anything like this in their lives. I have heard that said countless times in the past two days, and I have lost my home before to a California fire, now another."
The rock star was among several celebrities to be affected by the wildfires, which have so far killed 48 people.
Liam Hemsworth shared a picture revealing the charred remains of the Malibu home he shared with Miley Cyrus after it was almost entirely destroyed.
The Australian actor and his US pop star fiancee joined Kim Basinger, Gerard Butler and Robin Thicke whose houses were damaged after the wildfires scorched 388-square kilometres of southern California.
Kim Kardashian West, Caitlyn Jenner and Lady Gaga were among those forced to flee their homes.
