In a heartfelt gesture of support for those affected by the recent Los Angeles wildfire, The Simpsons came forward with a tribute that resonated deeply with their fans. On January 17, 2025, the beloved animated family shared an image on social media where they stood together in front of their Springfield home, holding banners and symbols of solidarity.
The family—Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie—along with their pets, Snowball and Santa’s Little Helper, were seen offering their support. Marge and Homer held a banner that read “We Love You LA,” showing their heartfelt message to the city. Bart’s banner included the names of several communities impacted by the fire—Palisades, Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Topanga, Malibu—and featured a heart symbol.
Lisa held a symbolic bundle of golden California poppies, a tribute to the state’s emblematic wildflower, while Maggie’s teddy bear was dressed in an L.A. Dodgers jersey, further connecting the tribute to the city’s identity.
The fire, which began in the Palisades, had burned over 23,000 acres by the time the tribute was shared, with the fire being 39% contained at the time. The Simpsons‘ thoughtful gesture highlights the widespread effort to support those impacted by the devastating event, showing that even fictional families can play a role in offering comfort and solidarity.
