Moment Jamie Lee Curtis fights back tears live on TV saying her home is ‘possibly’ on fire in LA ‘catastrophe’
EMOTIONAL Jamie Lee Curtis had to fight back tears live on the Jimmy Fallon show, saying her home is ‘possibly’ on fire in the LA ‘catastrophe.’
The Pacific Palisades, a haven for A-Lister types, has been hit by the horrific infernos with firefighters battling to get the blazes under control.
Some five people so far have died in the historic fires – with at least five separate blazes spreading across the Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, and Woodley.
And actress Jamie Lee has now revealed her heartbreak over the inferno, and said: “I’m literally just about to cry, mostly because of that beautiful welcome.”
She then turned to the live audience, adding: “As you know, where I live is on fire right now, literally the entire city of the Pacific Palisades is burning.”
Jamie’s voice quivered as she spoke, as she welled up and told Jimmy and the show: “It’s f*****g gnarly, you guys. It’s just a catastrophe.
“Many, many, many, many friends now have lost their homes.”
“My community and possibly my home is on fire. My family is safe. Many of my friends will lose their homes. Many other communities as well.
“We ALL take everything for granted because we are all living our lives but when it hits your community, it’s particularly shocking.”
A string of famous faces have lost their homes in the horrific blaze.
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody’s mansion, where they lived with their two young children, was reduced to smoking rubble.
Chilling pictures showed its roof completely vanished and the walls eroded by flames, with plumes of black smoke pouring from what was left of the building.
They lived in the vast home together with their two young daughters.
Paris Hilton’s Malibu beach house and Billy Crystal’s sprawling home were also burnt down.
Socialite Paris’ mansion was one of many to be razed – although it is reportedly not her main residence.
Insiders told TMZ on Wednesday that it was “burnt to a crisp”.
Actors John Goodman, Miles Teller and Anthony Hopkins also saw their houses destroyed.
Actress Anna Faris also lost her $5million LA home.
Aerial photos showed the mansion completely razed to the ground with scorched trees and piles of rubble.
Faris bought the home in 2018 and lived their with her husband Michael Barrrett.
Parts of Sunset Boulevard have also been torched leaving one of the most iconic streets in the world reduced to smoking rubble.
Some 100,000 people have been forced to evacuate Eaton with 30,000 fleeing the Palisades, turning celebrity haunts into ghost towns.
