Here's what Hollywood's stars have said and shared on social media about the devastating wildfires ravaging Southern California in January 2025.

By combining financial support, physical assistance, and specialized care for vulnerable populations like the elderly, we can significantly impact the lives of those affected by these devastating wildfires.

U.S. private forecaster AccuWeather said on Wednesday that estimated damage and economic loss from the California wildfire, already one of the worst in history, is over $50 billion at a preliminary level.

As wildfires ravage the Los Angeles area, destroying neighborhoods and forcing tens of thousands to evacuate, the impact of the devastation continues to grow. At least five people have died and several wind-driven fires remain largely uncontained. The largest, known as the Palisades Fire, is the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history.

A new wildfire was reported today at 5:33 a.m. in Los Angeles County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. At this time, the containment status is unknown and the cause of the fire remains undetermined.
