In Los Angeles, USA, a devastating wildfire has affected millions, including actors, musicians, and other celebrities. The wildfire has led to the cancellation of many events in Hollywood and the entertainment industry.
The fire, which has spread uncontrollably in various parts of Los Angeles, is exacerbated by strong winds, causing it to spread rapidly. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed in the Pacific Palisades area, a popular location among celebrities. Many stars have built multimillion-dollar homes in this beautiful mountainous region. The fire has also spread to the northern parts of the city.
Singer and This Is Us actress Mandy Moore shared a post on Instagram regarding the wildfire. She wrote that she had to quickly flee the area with her child and pets to escape the fire. Moore, a resident of Altadena in Los Angeles, mentioned that her neighborhood had been destroyed by the blaze.
On Instagram, Moore posted a video showing the devastation caused by the fire. In the caption, she wrote, “My beloved home. My heart is heavy for those of us who have lost so much. I am devastated, completely shocked.”
Emmy Award-winning actor James Woods posted a video on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) showing the wildfire. In the video, trees and shrubs near his home in Pacific Palisades are seen burning. During the video, Woods is heard preparing to evacuate for safety. Shortly after, he mentions that all the fire alarms are going off due to the approaching fire.
Due to the devastating wildfire, several Hollywood celebrities, including actor James Woods, “Star Wars” star Mark Hamill, and Oscar-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis, have been forced to evacuate their homes in Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and surrounding areas. Many of them shared their emotional experiences on social media.
Woods expressed his disbelief, stating that it felt as painful as losing a loved one, seeing their beloved little home on the mountainside destroyed by the flames. Hamill shared an Instagram post about evacuating with his wife and pet dog, driving through roads lined with fire. Curtis also shared her experience, stating that while their house was safe, the area had been devastated, and many others had lost everything.
