Actress Angelina Jolie has welcomed displaced relatives to her home in Los Feliz to care for and support them during the ongoing wildfires. Along with her son, Knox, Jolie was spotted shopping for essential supplies at a local grocery store. Speaking to the press, she expressed concern about the affected areas and revealed plans to donate to upcoming relief efforts.
It remains unclear whether her other children — Maddox (24), Pax Thien (22), Zahara (20), Shiloh (19), and Vivienne (17) — were staying with her at the time of the wildfire.
Celebrities Step Up to Donate and Support
Angelina Jolie is the latest addition to the list of celebrities aiding wildfire-affected regions. On January 9, actress Jamie Lee Curtis and her husband, director Christopher Guest, donated $1 million to help victims. Prior to this, reality TV star Kylie Jenner and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg also contributed to local relief organizations, though the exact amounts remain undisclosed.
On January 10, Kim Kardashian announced on Instagram Stories that she would donate clothing from her SKIMS brand and essential supplies to affected families. Additionally, she pledged support to the Los Angeles fire fund to enhance their resources in protecting residents.
Other celebrities, including Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Harry Hamlin, and Michelle Pfeiffer, also donated clothing to communities in need. Similarly, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle opened their $14 million mansion in Montecito to friends and relatives displaced by the wildfires.
Through their personal website, Harry and Meghan listed humanitarian relief organizations, encouraging the public to support displaced individuals by offering shelter or donating essential supplies.
Jennifer Garner Volunteers Amid the Wildfires
Beyond financial contributions, some stars, like actress Jennifer Garner, have taken direct action by volunteering. At 53, Garner joined the global relief organization World Central Kitchen, founded by chef José Andrés, to provide meals for evacuees and firefighters.
Severe Damage in Southern California
Wildfires are currently raging across three regions in Southern California: Pacific Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst, forcing over 100,000 people to evacuate. Many Hollywood stars have lost their mansions, some of which they had lived in for decades.
American media has described this as the most severe wildfire in Los Angeles history. As of Friday, at least 10 people have died, and more than 10,000 structures have been destroyed. Local officials stated that firefighting efforts are expected to bring the fires under significant control by January 11.
