Many have lost their homes to the fires

Many actors have so far spoken about the fires. Khloe Kardashian who had to leave her mansion in Los Angeles slammed the mayor and said, “You are a joke” as she learned that only recently there were budget cuts in the city’s fire department. Khloe was forced to evacuate her multi-million-dollar property due to the ongoing wildfires.

There are others who have come forward to help, like actress Angelina Jolie who has reportedly opened up her home for those in need as Los Angeles wildfires continue to ravage homes.

The 49-year-old actress is said to be providing refuge to friends who have been forced to evacuate the Los Angeles area due to the fire.
