Obviously I do have sympathy for the people this is happening to, but part of me feels like the majority of houses this seems to be happening to are those for the mega rich, who probably have another house or two. A lot of them celebrities, so part of me doesn't feel as sorry as I would if someone lost all that they own, especially if insurance didn't cover it

And obviously I do feel awful for those that died, and their families.

It must be hard to watch your home, possessions and memories burn, however rich or poor you are.

Anthony Hopkins
at least left in time.


A Great Actor 2016 Westworld (TV series)
was Fantastic on SkyAtlanticHD



He is now aged 87.

…I don’t know what insurance would cover in terms of financial recompense…but a home is built on so many emotional aspects as well, no matter what the wealth of a person…Billy Crystal was talking about the loss of his home and that he’d lived there for 45yrs, it’s where his children spent their childhoods and grew to adulthood…and maybe Billy’s home was filled with their own children as well…/…so much lost in those flames that would be heartbreaking for anyone, I think…

I'd like to wish them all the best in their next job... Assuming they can get one.

And hey, where are all the men at?

The Los Angeles Fire Department is using handbags to collect water to throw on the fires.

My beautiful LA. I'm heartbroken :sad:

President Biden

He is making sure Fire Fighters
get all the help they need in California.


SkyNewsHD showed one house

One Older Gentleman who died
refused to leave his home

President Biden lets slip real reason LA fire hydrants
were dry when flames began as Gavin Newsom
and Karen Bass cling to their jobs

[President Biden claimed that
Los Angeles fire hydrants hadn't run dry
because of a water shortage,
but due to power being cut to water pumps
because of the killer wildfires.

As of Thursday, seven people have died
in one of the most destructive blazes
in the county's history, over 10,000 structures
are destroyed, roughly 400,000 customers
statewide were without power and over
180,000 have been evacuated.

The systemic failures in the deep blue city have
led many to wonder how things
could've gotten this out of hand - and
led many to call
for the resignation of Mayor Karen Bass
and Governor Gavin Newsom.]

[The celebrities whose homes were
lucky to survive LA fire... as neighbors
are left devastated]


[Many A-list celebrities have lost their
stunning multi-million dollar mansions
in Los Angeles due to the Pacific Palisades
and Hollywood Hills fires.
The homes of Anthony Hopkins, Anna Faris,
Paris Hilton, Candy Spelling, Heidi Montag,
John Goodman and Miles Teller are destroyed.
But several stars have been able to keep their
properties safe out of sheer chance and
the assistance of brave firefighters.]

I have a few friends in LA (from different areas completely, including some up in the San Fernando Valley) who I've got to know for years now via social media through our artwork and all of them have been evacuated from their homes.

One put on yesterday that her home, her grandparents home, her kids schools (both high school and elementary) are all completely gone. Whole neighbourhoods have been flattened overnight. The aerial photographs of the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood is just harrowing, reminiscent of a warzone or something from a post-Apocalyptic movie.

It's terrifying, I can't even begin to imagine.

Feeling extremely lucky to live in the eternally cold and wet countryside of Wales!

An arsonist was caught for the Kenneth fire

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...neth-fire.html

…that’s a great song, Arista…thank you for the music…

…yeah, I can’t begin to imagine either…I’m glad that your friends are ok even though their world will feel so far removed from ‘ok’ atm and watching the images really does place such a balance, doesn’t it…

…some reports are saying at least 10 confirmed deaths now…

In the name of God, what?

Yes will get higher
once the special dogs
are searching for the other dead.



The Kenneth Fire
is now confirmed as Arson
Arrests made

Yes that is Terrible

[The charred remains of homes are all
that is left in huge swathes of Pacific Palisades and beyond]

..terrifying that anyone can look at this at this devastation in the thought of adding to it…I’m sure that some of the very best of human nature will shine through so much as well, as we’re seeing…but some of the worst also…

The National Guard
has been brought in,
to help

This is the man arrested on suspicion of starting the Kenneth Fire in West Hills, Los Angeles.

The man was arrested by police in the Woodland Hills area, while holding a blowtorch.

He is suspected of starting the fire which has so far consumed 1,000 acres.

I said quite heatless comments on this thread yesterday that I'd like to take back following seen further footage it's horrendous to whoever it happens to.

Good
Jail Him

People are divided on social media. "Boohoo to LA this is the devastation that US has caused to our countries for decades" :(

I don't know if I'm too sad for celebrities. With their millions they can rebuild or use one of their other homes. It's the everyday people I'm devastated for. Trump has a huge job on his hands. I hope the celebrities can contribute to the rebuilding of the city and that the government won't just charge massive amount of tax to the everyday working person
