- Gwyneth Paltrow expresses deep grief for friends affected by the Palisades Fire and other wildfires in Los Angeles, confirming her safety on Instagram.
Gwyneth Paltrow is showing supreme empathy for her loved ones experiencing unfathomable loss amid the ongoing Palisades Fire and other wildfires in Los Angeles , Calif.
The Iron Man actress, like many of her fellow Hollywood stars this week , took to social media with a heartfelt message expressing sadness about the amount of damage taking place, but also sharing an update about her status amid the natural disaster.
The Jan. 9 Instagram post consisted of a single, up-close photo of a palm tree ablaze, skies around it bright orange and filled with hazy smoke.
"Our beloved Los Angeles..." she opened the caption, "We are in deep grief for so many of our close friends who have lost everything."
Paltrow continued her sentiment, showing gratefulness toward people who've checked in, and providing confirmation that she is not in harm's way.
"Thank you to those inquiring, we are currently safe. When the fires are out there will be more to say and everything to do. The city of angels will need angels of all kinds. Please everyone, stay safe and vigilant," she wrote.
Supporters poured into the comments section with empathetic notes, sending well wishes to anyone suffering losses of people or property during this horrifying time.
"This is just! So heart wrenching 💔….. I know right now isn't the time for any kind of critical analysis, but WTH… I'm praying that everyone will be safe and come back from this terrible tragedy; but I'm also hoping the world will come together to prevent this from happening again. Just so sad. 💔🙏🙏🙏," one concerned spectator penned of the disaster.
"Sending healing and love to LA 🙏🏻🙏🏻," another added, with a third writing, "I CANNOT believe my eyes. My heart is hurting for all humans, wild life, homes. Communities. It's incomprehensible. Stay safe my friend ❤️."
Someone else kept it short and sweet, simply responding to the caption's sentiment by confirming, "And we will call in all the angels."
As of Thursday afternoon, Jan. 9, the deadly flames remained "mostly uncontained." The Palisades, Sunset, Lidia, Hurst, and Eaton Fires continued to blaze through cities, causing "apocalyptic scenes," with CNN Weather reporting that it was unclear "where the true death toll stands."
"Evacuation orders are impacting nearly 180,000 residents," the news outlet added.
