Jamie Lee Curtis Slams False Wildfire Reports As Her Home Faces Possible Danger

Jamie Lee Curtis has taken to Instagram to address the chaos surrounding the devastating wildfires currently raging across Southern California.

The Palisades Fire, first reported at 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, has grown to at least 2,921 acres with zero containment, according to CalFire (the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection). More than 10,300 homes are under threat, and while the number of damaged or destroyed structures remains unclear, L.A. fire officials have confirmed multiple burn victims.

Sharing a shocking image of the encroaching flames, Jamie Lee Curtis slammed false reports circulating online and offered an emotional update on the safety of her home and family.

For Curtis, the fires are deeply personal, with her home potentially at risk. In her Instagram post, she emphasized the importance of accurate information during such critical times, urging her followers to rely on verified sources and avoid spreading false or misleading reports.

"My community and possibly my home is on fire," she began. My family is safe. Many of my friends will lose their homes. Many other communities as well. There are so many conflicting reports. With all the technology there seems to be very little information. PLEASE POST FACTS! IT WILL HELP THOSE WONDERING!"

"It is a terrifying situation and I'm grateful to the firefighters and all of the good Samaritans who are helping people get out of the way of the blaze. Neighbors have taken care of neighbors," she continued. "We ALL take everything for granted because we are all living our lives but when it hits your community, it's particularly shocking. Life on life's terms."

The "Halloween" actress then emphasized, "If ever there was need for the use of the phrase MY HAND IN YOURS, it is right now. Take care of each other. Stay out of the way and let the firefighters do their work. Pray if you believe in it and even if you don't, pray for those who do."

Fans of the actress flooded the comments with words of support and prayer. "Absolutely devastating. I’m sorry for your loss and the great loss to so many. I’m grateful you and your family are safe," one of her fans commented.

"Jamie, sorry to see this happening... God Bless," another expressed while a third wrote, "So terribly sorry that your community is suffering so in this moment. Prayers that your home is spared. Keeping you and Chris and Runi in my good thoughts."

Someone else chimed in, "Our family members also live in the Palisades. Our hearts are broken for the families and the losses they suffered."

As another Instagram user commented, "Praying so sorry things can be replaced, people can't. Happy you are safe and I hope everyone stays safe."

Several major Los Angeles roadways were brought to a standstill as residents scrambled to flee the advancing blaze. In some cases, evacuees were forced to abandon their vehicles and flee on foot, underscoring the urgency and chaos of the situation.

As the Palisades Fire continued to spread, two additional wildfires ignited on Tuesday night, further straining emergency resources. The Eaton Fire erupted in the hills above Altadena in northern Los Angeles County, consuming over 1,000 acres and prompting widespread evacuation orders. Meanwhile, the Hurst Fire broke out in Sylmar late Tuesday night, swiftly burning through hundreds of acres and forcing more evacuations.

In response to the escalating crisis, California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency, mobilizing resources and personnel to combat the blazes.

As mandatory evacuation orders continue to affect Los Angeles County due to ongoing wildfires and hazardous wind conditions, the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena has been repurposed as an evacuation center for large animals. Officials announced the decision on social media, emphasizing the need for safe shelter during this emergency.

For smaller animals, the Pasadena Humane Society has been designated as the primary evacuation site, offering refuge and care for pets displaced by the fires.

This development comes just a week after the stadium hosted the annual Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day, where the Ohio State Buckeyes claimed victory over the Oregon Ducks.

In a related move, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) announced the cancellation of its live nominations announcement for the 31st annual SAG Awards. The decision was made "out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our presenters, guests, and staff," according to a statement released by the guild.

Originally planned as a live event, the nominees will now be revealed via press release and on the SAG Awards website at 7:30 a.m. PT on Wednesday.

The SAG Awards ceremony is still scheduled to take place on February 23, but officials are closely monitoring the evolving situation in Los Angeles.

These precautionary measures underscore the widespread impact of the wildfires, affecting everything from community safety operations to high-profile Hollywood events.
