Piers Morgan caught in earthquake terror

Piers Morgan has been caught up in a terrifying earthquake in Los Angeles.

The Good Morning Britain host was woken in the middle of the night as tremors shook his property, which is just a mile away from the epicentre.

"Well, the bed most definitely moved for me..." he tweeted.

"Just been woken up in LA by a 2.8 magnitude earthquake. Epicentre a mile from my house in Beverly Hills."

However, he insisted it was just a "smallish rattle-and-roller," but conceded it was "unnerving" as "California's due another 'Big One'."

Rapper Cardi B didn't play it quite so cool, tweeting, "Ommmgg I never felt a earthquake till today. B*tch I'm scare!"

But Piers harshly told her to calm down it, commenting, "It was only 2.8. Do get a grip, Ms B."

Piers owns a luxury home in the exclusive suburb of Beverly Hills which he bought for $5.4million back in 2011.

His home is included on the local celebrity spotted bus tours that run through the city - much to his wife Celia Walden's horror.

"As my husband walked out of the front gate, briefcase in hand, one of the Starline Tour buses that patrol the streets of Beverly Hills each day pulled up outside. 'It’s him,’ shouted a sun-seared tourist in a Route 66 T-shirt. 'It’s Piers Morgan!’ From my position on the balcony above, I heard the burst of applause and watched the camera flashes go off," she recalled to the Telegraph in 2014.

"Of course my husband lapped it up (I’m pretty sure his own reflection applauds him when he looks at himself in the mirror), treating this impromptu audience to a series of regal waves and megawatt smiles. I, however, found the whole thing slightly galling," she added.
