In recent years, numerous celebrities have relocated to Dubai due to its perceived safety. However, with the onset of the Iran war and the subsequent explosions heard in Abu Dhabi and Dubai after missiles were launched targeting military bases across the region, many are now leaving.

Lohan left America for the United Arab Emirates in 2014 and has made it her permanent residence. Nevertheless, as the situation escalates, her family is now worried about her safety.
