The actress revealed that a wildfire had been threatening her home in Bell Canyon, and she shared an update on the situation, including the news that the suspected arsonist had been caught by residents.
In the first video, Nash explained that the evacuation orders had been lifted, but she was prepared to leave again if needed, with her bags packed just in case the situation changed. She also spoke with gratitude about how the community came together to apprehend the person who allegedly started the fire.
“There were citizens in our neighborhood who caught the person they believe started the fire near us. I’m very, very grateful for that,” she shared, her voice filled with emotion.
