<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jeff Bridges, Mel Gibson, and Milo Ventimiglia have become the latest <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anna-faris-adam-brody-mandy-moore-become-latest-celebs-to-lose-homes-in-socal-fires" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrities</a> to share the heartbreaking news that they’ve lost their homes in the Los Angeles wildfires.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bridges&#8217; representative <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/jeff-bridges-family-home-malibu-destroyed-palisades-fire-1236105814/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> to The </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollywood Reporter</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that the Palisades home he shares with his siblings, that originally belonged to his parents, has burned to the ground as firefighters continue to deal with high winds in the area that forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people in multiple wildfires in Southern California.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Big Lebowski” star primarily lives with his wife </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Susan Geston </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">at their Santa Barbara home, THR noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor and filmmaker Mel Gibson told </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hE9VvdUXf8"><span style="font-weight: 400;">NewsNation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> he wasn’t even in town when the fires consumed his Malibu home because he was in Austin, Texas, recording an episode with Joe Rogan for “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mel Gibson shared in a NewsNation interview that his Malibu home burnt down in the fires — but his chickens survived.</p>
<p>&#8220;We gave them some grain and some water and they’re happy and laying eggs and stuff. So there you go, they weren’t roast chickens.” <a href="https://t.co/9fv1yNsO4t">https://t.co/9fv1yNsO4t</a> <a href="https://t.co/drqB6aWFV3">pic.twitter.com/drqB6aWFV3</a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I was doing the Rogan podcast. … And [I was] kind of ill at ease while we were talking, because I knew my neighborhood was on fire, so I thought, I wonder if my place is still there. But when I got home, sure enough, it wasn’t there,” Gibson said. “I went home and I said to myself, well, at least I haven’t got any of those pesky plumbing problems anymore.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 69-year-old actor admitted he was still dealing with the “devastating” impact of losing the home that he’d lived in for more than a decade.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is obviously, it’s kind of devastating. It’s emotional,” the famed actor said. “You live there for a long time, and you had all your stuff. You remember George Carlin talking about your stuff? I had my stuff there, and it’s all like, I’ve been relieved from the burden of my stuff, because it’s all in cinders.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gibson remarked on the destruction left by the fire and said he’d never “seen a place so perfectly burnt. You could put it in an urn … I’ve never seen such complete burn.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s like someone did it on purpose to really destroy every aspect of it,” the actor said. “My place looked like Dresden. It’s emotional and I lived there for about 14, 15 years, so it was home to me. I had a lot of personal things there I can’t get back.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor Milo Ventimiglia and his pregnant wife Jarah Mariano, also lost their Malibu home. Ventimiglia said that his “heart just breaks” thinking of the memories they were going to have in the home, </span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/milo-ventimiglia-pregnant-wife-lose-malibu-home-la-wildfires-1236105865/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">THR</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think there’s a kind of shock moment where you’re going, ‘Oh, this is real and this is happening,’ and then at a certain point, we just turn it off,” the 47-year-old actor said. “It’s like, what good is it to continue watching, you know. We kind of accepted the loss.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You start thinking about all the memories in different parts of the house and whatnot, and then you see your neighbors’ houses and everything kind of around, and your heart just breaks,” he </span><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/this-is-us-star-milo-ventimiglia-loses-home-los-angeles-fires/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">added</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">We got good friends and we got good people we&#8217;re working with and we&#8217;ll make do. Wife and baby and dog, most important.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wife of the late TV producer Aaron Spelling, Candy Spelling, said the home they owned for 50 years was gone, </span><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2025/01/09/jeff-bridges-candy-spelling-lose-homes-los-angeles-wildfires/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">TMZ noted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m in shock and processing this massive loss for our family,” Spelling said. “I am beyond grateful for the memories. It was truly a wonderful gift to have.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other celebrities like James Woods, Billy Crystal, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Cameron Mathison, and so many others have also shared the sad news that nothing was left of their homes due to the fires, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/everything-is-gone-celebrities-post-about-losing-their-homes-in-california-fires" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollywood star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patricia-heaton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patricia Heaton</a> did not hold back her thoughts about Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and blew up on her and Governor Gavin Newsom as the wildfires continue to burn in Southern California.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a viral video posted on </span><a href="https://x.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1877112025207419073"><span style="font-weight: 400;">X</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the 66-year-old actress said it was mind blowing to her to learn that Bass cut the fire department budget by millions of dollars when fire is the number one hazard in the area.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is just so heartbreaking to see what’s happening in the Pacific Palisades in California, in Los Angeles,” Heaton said. “So many good friends who worked really hard for years and created beautiful homes for themselves and their families, it’s all going up in smoke, and preventable, by the way.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We have a mayor who cut the budget of the fire department in California by over $17 million dollars,” she added. “Fire is the biggest hazard in Los Angeles. Why would you cut that budget? There was no water in the fire hydrants in the Palisades.”</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">The primary role of government is to secure infrastructure, make sure disaster preparedness is up to date, and protect citizens from harm both criminally and otherwise. Newsome &amp; Co have done the exact opposite. Infuriating. <a href="https://t.co/sdYWR2oE3g">pic.twitter.com/sdYWR2oE3g</a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The TV star noted how Bass wasn’t even in town during the wildfires because she was taking a “completely stupid trip to Ghana” on “taxpayer funds.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Maybe stop doing those trips and fund the fire department,” Heaton said. “The people running the show just decimated [CA]. Drugs, homelessness with mentally ill people on the streets, crime … taxes. What do you pay all these taxes for to see your neighborhood go up in smoke?”</span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/">JOIN THE MOVEMENT IN ’25 WITH 25% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS WITH CODE DW25</a></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is so enraging,” she added. “That they took one of the most beautiful states, maybe the most beautiful state in the union and just continue to destroy it. Gavin Newsom standing there with his hands in his pockets … I just really feel for everybody there.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress’ comments were similar to ones made by filmmaker and author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actress-delivers-brutal-film-critics-take-on-trump-victory-meltdown-videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justine Bateman</a> who told </span><a href="https://x.com/JesseBWatters/status/1877528141951840593"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jesse Watters on Fox News</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that she was “pretty pissed,” and blasted Bass.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you are going to run a city or run a state, you have to take care of the basics, and that’s make sure that your fire and your police department are well funded,” Bateman said, noting that it includes being prepared for when disasters occur in the area like fire, earthquake, rain, and the mudslides afterward.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you are not doing everything you can to [mitigate disasters] if they arise, then get out,” she added. “You are useless to us. If you can’t cover the basics, get out of our city. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">You are useless to us, you are a liability and you have destroyed people’s lives because you didn’t do your job.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You didn’t do what we paid you for and you should resign out of shame and responsibility for the people whose lives you’ve destroyed right now,” Bateman continued.</span></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Friday, failed vice-presidential candidate and hard-Left Minnesota Governor Tim Walz endorsed radical activist David Hogg, who made himself famous after the 2018 Parkland, Florida school shooting, to be the Democratic National Committee’s Vice Chair.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“David Hogg represents exactly the kind of bold, dynamic, and courageous leadership our party needs right now. He has a unique ability to connect with the American people and to speak to the strengths of our party. I couldn’t be happier to support him for DNC Vice Chair.&#8221;</p>

<p>I couldn’t be happier to support him for DNC Vice Chair. <a href="https://t.co/sHlX2fmUmD">pic.twitter.com/sHlX2fmUmD</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Tim Walz (@Tim_Walz) <a href="https://twitter.com/Tim_Walz/status/1877751497284325617?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 10, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In early December, Hogg, 24, told reporters he was considering running for a top leadership position in the Democratic National Committee (DNC). He <a href="https://x.com/davidhogg111/status/1864756688764703107">stated</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>I think we need a new generation in the DNC, if this election has taught us nothing else. I think we need an intergenerational coalition as a party. &#8230;. the thing that I&#8217;ve realized more than anything is that we have a number of problems in the party, but I think the main one overall is that we would rather live in a comfortable delusion than an uncomfortable reality. And I think what the party needs to do is open its eyes and take its fingers out of its ears basically. </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Asked what the “delusion” was, he replied:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>I think it&#8217;s that we can just surround ourselves with people that agree with us a lot of the time in terms of the party leadership and also within the party itself and think that&#8217;s just who we need to be talking to constantly, instead of listening to people who don&#8217;t agree with us. Not that we inherently agree with them, but I think so much of the issue that we have as a party right now is a fund &#8211; a kind of condescending tone that we have in a number of ways where we&#8217;re seen increasingly as elitist, as out of touch. And I think there are real conversations that we need to have. And we also need to have &#8211; help more, not just young people, but people from normal backgrounds run for office. </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">He then praised Walz, saying, “I think Tim Walz was actually a great example of this, of running as a teacher and gaining all the experience that he had to out &#8211; massively outperform, even in a Trump-held district, right?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Hogg has a history of outlandish statements and self-promotion; in June 2022, he accused Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of avoiding him because Hogg “triggered” him, writing in a later-deleted tweet, “Rubio staff said I can&#8217;t meet with him or his staff because I &#8216;trigger&#8217; him. I just wanna have a conversation. Please meet with me @marcorubio I just want to figure out how we can stop these things from happening. We have to end the continuous debate and find what we can agree on.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“No one said such a thing, Rubio&#8217;s Chief of Staff Michael Needham responded to Hogg. “As for the meeting, you must be confused as we had a 2p meeting scheduled with you. However, since you are lying and clearly using this all for self-promotion, that meeting is now cancelled [sic]. &#8230; the reporter doing a profile of you knows the meeting is real since she was emailing yesterday with our comms team about it. Don’t lie again — we have receipts.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In August 2018, Hogg claimed that the “NRA is pulling strings to increase gun sales in a record low year.” He was immediately fact-checked:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">There have been about 1 million more FBI background checks, the most reliable indicator of gun sales, this year than last year and this year is on pace to be the second-best in the history of NICS.

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In September 2020, Hogg <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/david-hogg-apologizes-for-condemning-violence">stated</a>, “The use of violence to acquire political power is deeply rooted in imperialism, capitalism and white supremacy[.] I personally refuse to believe that the use of this same violence will ever create nonviolent systems of government that represent and support everyone.” He later apologized but added, “Let me be clear what I am NOT trying to do is tell BIPOC people how they should react to violence directed at them by the state. It’s not my place or any white persons to direct or criticize the way BIPOC people choose to defend themselves against this violence from the state.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Hogg was accepted to Harvard University despite getting only a 1270 on his SATs. “The bottom 25% of students admitted had an average score of 1460,” Business Insider <a href="applewebdata://0CB7A4F1-65E5-4553-8D3B-B711F7A2BEDA/v">noted</a>.</p>

<p>David Hogg’s SAT score was 1270.</p>
<p>He was denied to UCLA, UC San Diego, and UC Irvine, where a 1240 places you above average. <a href="https://t.co/wfpQkHOCxA">https://t.co/wfpQkHOCxA</a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamie-lee-curtis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamie Lee Curtis</a> has announced a $1 million dollar donation to a relief fund set up to help those impacted by the Southern California wildfires still raging in the area as of Thursday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a post on </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jamieleecurtis"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the 66-year-old actress wrote about the devastation in Los Angeles County due to the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, and Hurst Fire — which, combined, have led to tens of thousands of people being forced to evacuate their homes as the high-speed Santa Ana winds continue to make it difficult to contain the blazes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“As the fire still rages on and @calfire @losangelesfiredepartment and all the available first responders and agencies involved in fighting fire and saving lives are still hard at work and neighbors and friends are banding together to save each other, my husband and I and our children have pledged $1 million from our Family Foundation to start a fund of support for our great city and state and the great people who live and love there,” Curtis&#8217; post read.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m in communication with Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass and Senator Schiff as to where those funds need to be directed for the most impact,” she added. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the “Freaky Friday” star’s appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday, she talked about the fires and how so many of her own friends <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/everything-is-gone-celebrities-post-about-losing-their-homes-in-california-fires" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have lost their homes</a>.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“As you know, where I live is on fire right now. The entire city of Pacific Palisades is burning,” Curtis said. “I flew here last night, I was on the plane, started getting texts and it’s f**king gnarly, you guys.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s just a catastrophe in Southern California,” she added. “Everything: the market I shop in, the schools my kids go to. Many, many, many friends now have lost their homes. So it’s a really awful situation.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the time of this publication, Curtis was the only star to announce a donation. However, a number of stars have slammed the Democratic city and state politicians for the “incredible mismanagement” and “poor leadership” that has resulted in the massive losses throughout the area, as previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/zachary-levi-says-democrats-need-to-be-held-criminally-responsible-for-fires"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress Whitney Cummings even warned those donating money to relief efforts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you donate to cali fire relief efforts, that&#8217;s rad, BUT IT&#8217;S INSANE THAT ANYONE HAS TO DONATE their hard earned money to a state that gets so much tax money from its citizens,” Cummings wrote on </span><a href="https://x.com/WhitneyCummings/status/1877431482387403160"><span style="font-weight: 400;">X</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “We&#8217;ve normalized charities and kind people stepping in when the state government fails.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Several </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">celebrities</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are speaking out against </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/los-angeles"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Los Angeles</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> officials in the wake of the devastating </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fire"><span style="font-weight: 400;">fires</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in California.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is married to Freddie Prinze, Jr., called out Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass in a social media post. &#8220;City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping,&#8221; the 47-year-old star shared in her Instagram stories on Tuesday, tagging the official accounts for City of Los Angeles and Bass.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bass has been criticized for her response to the emergency. The Democrat mayor was thousands of miles away in Ghana when the fires broke out. Bass was also called out for cutting funding to the fire department by almost $18 million despite the fire chief </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/l-a-fire-chief-warned-democrat-mayor-bass-budget-cuts-severely-limited-fire-response"><span style="font-weight: 400;">warning</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that the move put the area at risk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Shazam!&#8221; star Zachary Levi said Democrats should be held responsible for the amount of damage. “This is just incredible mismanagement, incredibly poor leadership, I would go so far as to say that it&#8217;s criminally negligent,&#8221; the actor told Fox News. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Because, I mean, Gavin Newsom has been either the governor for five years or lieutenant governor prior to that for eight, nine years, some of the worst fires we&#8217;ve ever had in California under that watch. He clearly knows that the biggest problem that we suffer in California are these fires. And, by the way, the mudslides that follow,&#8221; Levi continued. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;And for them to do essentially not just nothing, but worse than nothing, when firefighter budgets are being cut, when they are specifically, intentionally not doing the work that could be done to avoid these problems or to be able to effectively serve them when they are happening…they must be held responsible. This is not good leadership,&#8221; he said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Former &#8220;Dancing with the Stars&#8221; contestant Valentin Chmerkovskiy also blamed California’s elected officials. &#8220;5th largest economy on the planet. Firefighters didn&#8217;t have enough water pressure to do their jobs?! Are you joking me?! The taxes we pay for 3rd world infrastructure is unbelievable?! Come on,&#8221; he posted on Wednesday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We pay the highest taxes in California. Our fire hydrants were empty,” actress Sarah Foster </span><a href="https://x.com/saramfoster/status/1877161637926641687?s=46&amp;t=qKzmlHIavrwTjsq3IXf4Ow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on X. “Our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared. Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut by our mayor. But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits. @MayorOfLA @GavinNewsom RESIGN. Your far left policies have ruined our state. And also our party.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fitness expert and media personality Jillian Michaels also called out elected state officials. &#8220;The mayor is apparently in Ghana,&#8221; she </span><a href="https://x.com/JillianMichaels/status/1877037114791198975"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. &#8220;The fire departments budget was apparently cut by 17 mil. And someone made the decision to not refill some of the reservoirs — now some fire hydrants are dry. Leadership in California is beyond negligent. This is completely unacceptable.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;California governor @GavinNewsom issues a press release admitting they knew about the insane fire risk this past Sunday because he was propositioning(sic) fire engines,” Michaels continued in a follow up post. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“And yet, he just called in the national guard a few hours ago. Pacific Palisades ran out of water at 3am. I’m so so upset for the people of California. My family who stayed. My lifelong friends who live there. Our brave firefighters. This is not a partisan issue it’s pure incompetence and misprioritization.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor James Woods, who lost his home in the fire, blamed Newsom in an </span><a href="https://x.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1876941213703565373?%5C"><span style="font-weight: 400;">X post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, saying the fire was not the result of “climate change” but was rather because of “liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“One doesn’t understand the first thing about fire management and the other can’t fill the water reservoirs,” the actor wrote.</span></p>

'Completely Unacceptable': Celebrities Slam CA Leadership As Fires Rage

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollywood star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/zachary-levi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zachary Levi</a> said Democratic politicians in California need to be held criminally responsible for the wildfires still burning in Los Angeles county as of Thursday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the 44-year-old actor’s appearance on </span><a href="https://x.com/robbystarbuck/status/1877187129286983709"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fox News</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Levi didn’t hold back and said the destruction caused by the Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires is due to “incredible mismanagement” and “incredibly poor leadership.” As of Thursday, the three fires remain zero percent contained and have forced the evacuations of tens of thousands of people in the Southern California area, with many losing their homes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I would go so far as to say that it’s criminally negligent because Gavin Newsom has been the governor either for five years or Lt. Governor prior to that for eight, nine years,” Levi explained. “Some of the worst fires we have ever had under that watch.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actor wasn’t the only star who has blasted the Democratic leadership in the state and city for the disaster.</span></p>

Zachary Levi Says Democrats Need To be Held Criminally Responsible For Fires

Zachary Levi

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Multiple <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">celebrities</a> have posted on social media about losing their homes and communities to the fires causing devastation in the Los Angeles area.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first fire started in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday, January 7, and since then multiple other fires have broken out in the region amid dry conditions and high wind speeds. The fires have displaced more than 80,000 residents and destroyed tens of thousands of acres of land and well over 1,100 structures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The affected communities are inhabited by many celebrities. Some have already posted videos and statements on social media about their experiences.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Billy Crystal confirmed in a statement to </span><a href="https://people.com/celebrities-who-lost-homes-or-evacuted-amid-california-fires-8771122"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that he and his wife lost their home in the fire. &#8220;Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing. We ache for our friends and neighbors who have also lost their homes and businesses in this tragedy,” the statement said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can&#8217;t be taken away. We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this,” Crystal added, noting that Pacific Palisades is a “resilient community of amazing people” and “it will rise again.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A rep for “Scary Movie” star Anna Faris confirmed that her house was also lost, but said, “Anna and her family are safe and very grateful.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Talk show host Ricki Lake </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEk5zu1Srkw/?img_index=1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a photo carousel on Instagram and included a caption saying, &#8220;It’s all gone. I can’t believe I am typing these words. After a valiant and brave effort by our friend and hero @kirbykotler_ Ross and I lost our dream home.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;This description ‘dream home’ doesn’t suffice,” she went on. “It was our heaven on earth…This loss is immeasurable.” Lake concluded the post with prayers for her neighbors, friends, community, and first responders. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Soap opera star Cameron Mathison posted a </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEkkT_Evt6l/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">video</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of his home on fire, writing, &#8220;We are safe. But this is what’s left of our beautiful home. Our home where our kids were raised and where they wanted to raise their own someday.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Thanks to all who reached out and checked in,” Mathison said. “Can’t respond to all so wanted to give an update here. Sending so many prayers to everyone being affected by these fires.&#8221;</span></p>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Former reality star Paris Hilton </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DElYFY_SJQ6/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Instagram about losing her Malibu home. &#8220;Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,&#8221; she wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hilton added, &#8220;This home was where we built so many precious memories. &#8230; It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London. &#8230; While the loss is overwhelming, I’m holding onto gratitude that my family is safe. My heart and prayers are going out to every family affected by these fires.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor James Woods broke down in tears about the loss of his home during an </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF9SWXBK2Xw"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">with CNN. “There was so much chaos, it was like an inferno. Every house was on fire around us,” the actor said. “We were evacuated with the clothes on our back.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“One day you are swimming in your pool, and the next day it’s all gone,” he said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Melissa Rivers confirmed to CNN that her house was also destroyed. &#8220;My heart is so broken, not just for myself &#8230; it&#8217;s a town and it&#8217;s wiped off the map,&#8221; she told the outlet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;That is the end of everything that belonged to my family and the history of it,&#8221; Rivers said of items belonging to her late parents, Joan Rivers and Edgar Rosenberg. &#8220;I grabbed my mom&#8217;s Emmy, a photo of my dad, and a drawing my mother had done of me and my son. &#8230; I went for a drawing of hers, rather than a photo. I know I can find the photos, but a drawing I can&#8217;t replace.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grammy Award-winning singer Diane Warren said she lost her home of 30 years, but is grateful that her animal rescue ranch survived. &#8220;There&#8217;s a rainbow shining on it which I&#8217;m taking as a sign of hope for all creatures who have been affected by this tragedy,” she </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEk1ScvR5Za/?hl=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Instagram. “The animals and the rescue ranch are OK tho which is the most important thing.

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Reality stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag confirmed that they also lost their home in the fires. Pratt posted a video of their home engulfed in flames, writing in the caption “Nightmare came true.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He later shared a photo of the burned structure and wrote in the </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEkyJ0KSdiW/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">caption</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “The one positive sign i saw as our house burned down was our son&#8217;s bed burned in the shape of a heart.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Princess Bride” star Cary Elwes posted about his home being lost to the fires, writing, &#8220;&#8230;we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Several other celebrities mourned the loss of their communities.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She continued, &#8220;The Pacific Palisades is a community very unusual to find in Los Angeles, heavy on families with young children and pets. I’m weeping for all of the people and pets involved, so many of them I know. My heart is breaking for the families who have lost everything, and the people and their animals, not to mention the horses and all the wild animals, people’s businesses and livelihoods. This is just like hell.&#8221;</span></p>

'Everything Is Gone': Celebrities Post About Losing Their Homes In California Fires

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Award-winning actress </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jean Smart</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> believes that upcoming award shows should not be broadcast and networks should use the money to aid </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fire"><span style="font-weight: 400;">fire</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> victims in California instead. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 73-year-old star, who just took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy at the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood"><span style="font-weight: 400;">awards ceremony</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Sunday for her role in “Hacks,” shared her thoughts in an Instagram post Wednesday night. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Attention! With ALL due respect, during Hollywood’s season of celebration, I hope any of the networks televising the upcoming awards will seriously consider NOT televising them and donating the revenue they would have garnered to victims of the fires and the firefighters,” the celebrity shared with her followers.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smart didn’t specify which shows she was referring to. In the next few months, the Academy Awards, the Critics Choice Awards, and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are all scheduled to air.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ongoing wildfires in California have already affected those shows. The SAG Awards canceled their live nominations and opted to release the list of nominees via a press release Wednesday morning. A spokesperson announced that the voting deadline for the Academy Awards was postponed two days from January 12 to January 14, while the nominations announcements will be made on January 19 rather than January 17.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Critics Choice Awards ceremony moved from January 12 to January 26. The NHL also postponed Wednesday night’s game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Calgary Flames, while the NFL said they will “closely monitor” the fires to determine the status of Monday night’s playoffs game between the LA Rams and Minnesota Vikings, which is scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many Hollywood premieres have been canceled due to the fires, including the planned Tuesday night premieres of the films “Unstoppable” and “Wolf Man,” and the Wednesday premieres of “Better Man” and “The Pitt,” as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sag-awards-live-announcement-canceled-due-to-los-angeles-area-fires"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dozens of Hollywood stars were forced to evacuate their homes in the area and many have since posted on social media about losing their homes in the fires. James Woods, Mark Hamill, Mandy Moore, Ricki Lake, Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, Melissa Rivers, Spencer Pratt, Cary Elwes, and others posted on social media about losing their homes as the wildfires continue to burn. </span></p>

Actress Suggests Networks Not Air Awards Shows, Donate To Fire Victims Instead

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hollywood</a> stars Anna Faris, Adam Brody, and Mandy Moore have become the latest celebrities to lose their homes in the Southern California fires that remain 0% contained in Los Angeles as of Wednesday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The three celebrities joined actors like James Woods and reality TV stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag who have completely lost their homes as wildfires rage in the area thanks to the high-speed Santa Ana winds forcing the evacuations of tens of thousands in the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, and Hurst Fire, as previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/multiple-fires-blaze-throughout-la-county-prompting-thousands-of-evacuations"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In one video from </span><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2025/01/08/adam-brody-leighton-meester-anna-faris-houses-burn-down-los-angeles-wildfires/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">TMZ</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, it showed the 45-year-old Brody and his actress wife Leighton Meester’s home completely engulfed in black smoke and flames with barely the structure of the home remaining.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inside the post, there were also pictures of ashes and what was left of Faris&#8217; home. There has been no word from either Faris or Brody about the loss.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Police Academy” star Steve Guttenberg described the terrifying scenes of the Palisades Fire in Southern California where he lives, calling it the “most unbelievable” blaze he’d ever seen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking to </span><a href="https://x.com/tomshattuck/status/1876821735342768471"><span style="font-weight: 400;">KTLA 5 News</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the 66-year-old actor on Tuesday pleaded with people who had abandoned their cars during evacuation to leave their keys behind so they could be moved to allow first responders into the area to </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">battle the fires blazing thanks to high speed Santa Ana winds.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“What’s happening is people take their keys with them as if they’re in a parking lot,” Guttenberg said. “This is not a parking lot. We really need people to move their cars. If you leave your car behind, leave the key in there so a guy like me can move your car so that these fire trucks can get up there.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He explained that he had friends on the hill in the line of fire who he said “can’t evacuate cause they are stuck” behind the cars that are blocking the road.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There are people stuck up there. So we’re trying to clear Palisades Drive and I’m walking up there as far as I can moving cars,” the actor said. “There are families up there, there are pets up there. There are people who really need help.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“At 9 o’clock in the morning, it was an idyllic Pacific Palisades, and then by 10 o’clock, 10:30, the sky was dark as if it were nighttime,” Guttenberg said. “The fire was so close that everybody was told to get out of their cars &#8230; the police said get out of your cars.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He said he spent “all day trying to move” the cars that did have keys in them, so the firefighters could get into the area.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">There were mothers who were hysterical [having] panic attacks, helping them with their suitcases and they were worried about their families up there because they couldn’t get them out in time,” Guttenberg said.  “There were little kids crying. There were people who couldn’t speak English, driving their friends&#8217; cars or their boss&#8217; cars and being careful where they drove. This is the most unbelievable fire I’ve ever seen.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a post on </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEjZIqvR3uE/?hl=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Hamill wrote that he evacuated his Malibu home where there were “fires on both sides of the road” burning as LA County firefighters battled the fire blazing thanks to high speed Santa Ana winds, leading to tens of thousands of evacuations in the Palisades Fire, Hurst Fire, and Eaton Fire, as previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/multiple-fires-blaze-throughout-la-county-prompting-thousands-of-evacuations"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He also posted that he, his wife, and his dog were able to safely evacuate to his daughter Chelsea’s home in Hollywood, adding that it was the “most horrific fire since ’93. STAY SAFE!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress Mandy Moore took to her social media account and wrote in an Instagram Story, “Evacuated and safe with kids, dog, and cats. Praying and grateful for the first responders,” </span><a href="https://ew.com/mark-hamill-other-stars-detail-evacuating-la-amid-horrific-palisades-fire-8771183"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Entertainment Weekly</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grateful for the kindness of friends that we had a place to land last night. Trying to shield the kids from the immense sadness and worry I feel. Praying for everyone in our beautiful city. So gutted for the destruction and loss. Don&#8217;t know if our place made it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor James Woods was one of the stars whose home didn’t make it after he initially posted on </span><a href="https://x.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1876780073845408023"><span style="font-weight: 400;">X</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that he had safely evacuated the area, only to share later that his home was gone. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Later Tuesday night, Woods broke down in tears during his appearance on CNN about the fire that had burned up his entire street, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/mark-hamill-la-fire-malibu-evacuation-dog-trixie-1236104022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollywood Reporter</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There was so much chaos, it was like an inferno. Every house was on fire around us,” Woods said. “We were evacuated with the clothes on our back.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“One day you are swimming in your pool, and the next day it’s all gone,” Woods said as he broke down.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He then </span><a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/1877038067543900278"><span style="font-weight: 400;">recalled</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> how his wife Sarah last night was on the phone with her 8-year-old niece who came out with her Yeti piggy bank “for us to rebuild our house,&#8221; he said as he got even more emotional.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I have no words.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chris Pratt and Candace Cameron Bure also took to Instagram pleading for people to pray for the firefighters and those with homes in the area.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Please send prayers and strength tonight to everyone in Los Angeles affected by these devastating fires. Los Angeles is in a state of emergency and over 30,000 have been ordered to evacuate,&#8221; Pratt’s post </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEjHSkbpWYT/?img_index=1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">read</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. &#8220;Thank you to the brave firefighters and first responders who are working tirelessly to protect lives, homes, and wildlife as they battle fast-moving wildfire fueled by fierce winds. You are true heroes, and we are endlessly grateful for your sacrifice and courage.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Full House” star wrote in her </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEjKrH5pxTS/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Wednesday, “Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Sylmar and Sepulveda pass are still burning. I woke up to the same flames. Our sweet Palisades is destroyed. So many memories. We are praying God pours rain down on Los Angeles. Thank you firefighters and first responders for everything you’re doing to keep people safe and fight these fires. You are true heros. So many memories.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor and director </span><a href="https://x.com/hwinkler4real/status/1877039729192902999"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Henry Winkler</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> called the scenes of the devastating fire surreal and biblical. “So many people have lost everything. Across this country, the suffering by nature alone is unimaginable, everybody who is alive and safe, thank the Lord.”</span></p>
<p><a href="https://x.com/mariashriver/status/1877042569999237354"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maria Shriver</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> posted on Wednesday that they had to evacuate the area as well, writing, “Heartbreaking, devastating, beyond belief. Everything is gone. Our neighborhood, our restaurants. All our friends have lost everything. We have evacuated, but are safe. But people have lost everything. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The firefighters have and are doing their best, but this fire is massive and out of control, and now there are multiple fires burning across Los Angeles.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lopez"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jennifer Lopez</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is reportedly ready to close the door on the “crazy chapter” of her life with Ben Affleck after she and the actor finalized their divorce — after just two years of marriage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Monday, the 55-year-old actress and Affleck finally reached a settlement for their divorce after Lopez filed </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">for a dissolution of their marriage back on Aug. 20, 2024, </span><a href="https://people.com/jennifer-lopez-wants-to-close-the-door-after-ben-affleck-divorce-source-8770430?utm_campaign=people&amp;utm_content=likeshop&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=instagram"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People magazine</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> reported. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A source close to the superstar singer is now shedding some light on how the “Hustlers” star is doing as she grapples with the end of what she had previously labeled a dream come true, as </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/love-is-patient-twenty-years-patient-jennifer-lopez-goes-all-in-with-ben-affleck-by-changing-her-last-name"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a> at the time<span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The fairy tale she was promised turned out to be a nightmare in the end,” the insider told the magazine. &#8220;She&#8217;s in a really good place and just wants to close the door on this crazy chapter.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the second anniversary of their southern wedding ceremony in Georgia, the “Selena” star put to bed rumors about their relationship troubles when she filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court without an attorney, </span><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jennifer-lopez-devastated-about-ben-affleck-divorce-gave-her-all-make-work-source"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fox News</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the time, a source told the outlet that the actress felt she “gave it her all to make this work” with Affleck and was “devastated” that she couldn’t make their marriage work — especially after they called off their first engagement in 2004 and then rekindled their romance in the summer of 2021.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the divorce filing, Lopez wrote that the separation occurred on April 26, 2024, </span><a href="https://people.com/ben-affleck-and-jennifer-lopez-divorce-live-updates-8699009"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People magazine</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the same day reports surfaced that Lopez had filed for divorce, the “Gone Girl” star was spotted not wearing his wedding ring.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As to why she chose the anniversary of their wedding ceremony, a source told People magazine. “She was done waiting and the date she did it speaks a ton.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The move “gives her control of the process,” added the source. “It’s good that she did it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last June, rumors surfaced that their marriage was over and a source at the time told the outlet that Affleck “started moving out a while ago. The marriage is completely over, and Jennifer is heartbroken. She loves love and wanted this to work so badly.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lopez and Affleck officially tied the knot in a legal ceremony in Las Vegas in 2022, before they celebrated their matrimony at a backyard ceremony at an $8 million Georgia mansion with family and friends a month later. It all happened 18 years after the couple first got engaged in 2002, calling it off in 2004.</span></p>
