Six wildfires tearing through Los Angeles have destroyed over 1,100 buildings, claimed at least five lives, and displaced countless residents, including several prominent Hollywood figures.
The affluent Pacific Palisades, home to numerous celebrities, has been severely impacted by the fires, which began on Tuesday. On Wednesday, a new blaze erupted in Runyon Canyon, prompting immediate evacuations in Hollywood Hills.
Among the affected is Billy Crystal, 76, who confirmed losing his Pacific Palisades residence of 46 years. Crystal expressed heartbreak, noting, “Every inch of our house was filled with love... but with the support of our children and friends, we will get through this.”
Actor Eugene Levy, honorary mayor of Pacific Palisades, also lost his home. Meanwhile, actor Cary Elwes reported that his Malibu property had been destroyed, but his family had safely evacuated. Paris Hilton, whose Malibu home held cherished family memories, described the devastation as "unimaginable."
Other celebrities affected include Mandy Moore, John Goodman, James Woods, and Diane Warren, all of whom shared their sorrow while commending firefighters and first responders. Jamie Lee Curtis noted that while her home survived, her local sobriety meeting church was reduced to ashes.
The wildfires have brought the entertainment industry to a halt. The Academy extended voting deadlines for the Oscars, and the Critics Choice Awards have been postponed.
US President Joe Biden has declared a federal disaster, enabling funding for temporary housing and property repairs. Experts attribute the growing severity of wildfires to climate change, which has extended wildfire seasons globally by two weeks on average.
