Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Pratt, and Other Celebrities React to the LA Wildfires

In light of the persistent wildfires and strong winds plaguing the Los Angeles region, celebrities are using their social media platforms to urge their followers to lend a hand when possible, prioritizing safety above all else, and if required, evacuate the area. With many high-profile figures like Jamie Lee Curtis, James Woods, among others, residing in the affected areas, some may be forced to evacuate, while others have already chosen to leave out of precaution.

In a post on Instagram, Curtis expressed her concern about her neighborhood being on fire, stating that while her family is safe, many of her friends and other communities will lose their homes. She thanked the firefighters and good Samaritans who are helping people evacuate the area, as well as her neighbors for taking care of each other during this difficult time.

Chris Pratt expressed heartfelt prayers on Instagram to the over 30,000 people forced to evacuate, as Los Angeles declared a state of emergency due to raging fires. The actor also acknowledged the bravery of the firefighters and first responders battling the inferno by saying, “A big thank you to the courageous firefighters and emergency personnel who are tirelessly working to save lives, homes, and wildlife as they fight the relentless wildfire stoked by strong winds. You are genuine heroes, and we are eternally grateful for your selflessness and bravery.” You can see more reactions from celebrities facing this heart-wrenching wildfire below.

Some Celebrities Have Been Extremely Close To The Devastation

Some celebrities have given a shockingly intimate view of the wildfires. For instance, Cameron Mathison, who currently stars in the long-running soap opera General Hospital, assured his Instagram followers of his safety while also sharing images of the remains of his home, which had been devastated by the fire.

Cary Elwes posted a video on Instagram detailing the severity and force of the fires, which necessitated his evacuation. Similarly, Mira Sorvino shared her second evacuation in under a month due to the fires, expressing that this one was particularly frightening compared to previous incidents. Furthermore, Woods, who resides in the thick of it all, uploaded images and videos on his social media platforms displaying how close the fires came to his home, as well as footage from neighbors illustrating the intense danger unfolding.

Yesterday saw a massive evacuation involving over 30,000 individuals, with more needing to leave today due to the rise in nearby wildfires, which now number five. Regrettably, there have been reports of injuries and even fatalities, with two lives lost so far. Moreover, over 320,000 people currently find themselves without power. This situation transcends the celebrity association, underscoring a significant human impact.

To summarize, the Palisades Fire has blackened over 5,000 acres and is reported to have destroyed approximately 1,000 structures, leaving homes, businesses (both large and small), and some schools in ruins. This devastation doesn’t take into account other fires such as the Eaton Fire in Pasadena, which has torched over 2,000 acres, the Hurst Fire in San Fernando Valley, which has charred 500 acres, and the Woodley Fire in the Sepulveda Basin. Moreover, a new fire, named Tyler Fire, is emerging in Riverside County, having already consumed 15 acres at present, with hopes that it can be swiftly controlled.

There are several organizations where you can lend a hand, such as the Red Cross, California Fire Foundation, California Community Foundation, Canine Rescue Club, Dream Center, and Friends in Deed.

Let’s send our heartfelt well-wishes to your family, friends, acquaintances, and dear ones from Los Angeles. They could really use some extra warmth and affection at this moment.
