LOS ANGELES (AP) – Fires raging in and around Los Angeles have had devastating effects on the community, including the homes of several celebrities such as Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore, and Paris Hilton. These natural disasters have also disrupted a series of entertainment events, leading to the postponement of three awards ceremonies originally planned for this weekend.

The upcoming Oscar nominations have been delayed as fires continue to threaten the city. Over 130,000 residents are currently under evacuation orders, and the destruction of more than 1,900 structures has left many families displaced and uncertain about their homes' fate. New fires have been reported, further complicating the situation as evacuation orders evolve.

Late Wednesday, a fire near the Hollywood Hills posed threats to notable landmarks, including the Hollywood Bowl and Dolby Theatre, the home of the Academy Awards. Fortunately, that fire has been largely contained, sparing these famous sites from damage.

Among the celebrities affected, Billy Crystal and his wife, Janice, lost their home in Pacific Palisades, where they had lived for 45 years. In a heartfelt statement, they expressed their heartbreak over the loss yet emphasized that the memories created within their home would endure. They stated, "Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away."

Mandy Moore, who lost her Altadena home approximately 30 miles east of the Palisades, shared her shock through an Instagram post. She mourned not only her family's loss but also that of her community, noting the destruction of local schools and restaurants. Moore conveyed her determination to rebuild together as a community, sending love to those affected and first responders.

Paris Hilton posted a video clip on Instagram documenting the destruction of her Malibu home. She shared poignant memories associated with that place, reflecting on how it served as the backdrop for many family milestones, including her children's first steps. Another famous loss includes actor Cary Elwes, known for his role in "The Princess Bride," who reported his family's safety while confirming the loss of their home in the Palisades fire.

In a show of solidarity, actress Jamie Lee Curtis announced a $1 million pledge to assist those impacted by the fires. Having evacuated her home due to the Palisades fire, Curtis broke down during an appearance on "The Tonight Show," sharing details about the community's extensive losses, including local markets and schools.

The fire threat has significantly disrupted Hollywood's awards season, which relies on a carefully planned schedule. The AFI Awards, (originally scheduled for Friday), the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, and the Critics Choice Awards have all been postponed. The Oscar nominations have also shifted to January 19, with the voting window extended to provide consideration for affected members of the film academy.

History has also been marked by loss; flames damaged sections of Palisades Charter High School, famous for its appearances in several Hollywood productions, while the historic ranch house of Hollywood figure Will Rogers has been destroyed, along with structures at Will Rogers State Historic Park and Topanga State Park.

The current wildfires have not only disrupted lives and destroyed homes but have also placed crucial cultural and historic landmarks at risk. As the community navigates through this difficult phase, resilience and support are essential as they aim to recover and rebuild.
