Dick Van Dyke and his wife Arlene were evacuated from their home in Malibu

The 'Mary Poppins' star, 98, and his wife Arlene fled their home in Malibu, California earlier this week following the outbreak of the blaze - dubbed the Franklin Fire by authorities - and he's now revealed he was too "exhausted" to walk to his vehicle and was picked up by fellow residents who got him help.
