Angelina Jolie is reportedly doing everything she can to assist those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires that began on January 7. As of January 10, the fires, including the Palisades and Eaton fires, have scorched around 10,000 structures, including homes and offices.
A source told People that Jolie has opened her home to friends who were forced to evacuate the area. She is deeply “heartbroken” for those who have lost their homes or been affected in other ways by the disaster. The wildfires, which are among the most destructive in U.S. history, have displaced over 80,000 people, including several celebrities such as Leighton Meester, Adam Brody, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Cary Elwes, and Cameron Mathison. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner reported that 11 fire-related casualties are under investigation as of January 10.
In addition to Jolie, many other celebrities are stepping up to support those impacted by the fires. Halle Berry shared on Instagram that she is teaming up with Sharon Stone to donate her entire closet to those in need of clothing after losing their possessions. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have also opened their Montecito home to friends, despite facing evacuation themselves. Furthermore, Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest’s family has pledged $1 million to help victims of the fires.
