Actor Priyanka Chopra has expressed her heartfelt sorrow and called on people to support the victims affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, California.
On Thursday, Priyanka shared a long note with pictures of the LA wildfires, urging people to help the victims. She wrote, “I [?] you LA. My heart is so heavy. While I’m deeply grateful for our home and my family’s safety, so many of our friends, colleagues, and fellow Angelenos have lost so much. These fires have displaced countless families and devastated entire communities, leaving an overwhelming need for rebuilding and support.”

She further added, “To the firefighters, first responders, and volunteers risking everything–you are true heroes.”
Priyanka also highlighted the numerous fundraising efforts, saying, “Over the past week, I’ve come across countless GoFundMe pages and organizations working tirelessly to provide relief. If you’re able, please consider donating to those who have lost everything or supporting organizations like @cafirefound, @baby2baby, @americanredcross and so many more making a difference on the ground. Every contribution, no matter the size, truly helps. I’ll keep adding pages as I come across them. Link in my bio for more details.”
The wildfires have ravaged large portions of the LA area, igniting in Pacific Palisades and spreading to Malibu and Santa Monica, with the Eaton Fire severely affecting the Altadena-Pasadena area.
In the aftermath, LA County remains under a “particularly dangerous situation” red flag warning issued by the National Weather Service. While one fire, the Hurst Fire, is nearly contained, a new wildfire, the Auto Fire, broke out overnight in Ventura, burning more than 50 acres, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
