Gwyneth Paltrow is reacting to the devastating wildfires spreading across Los Angeles.
On Thursday, Jan. 9, the actress, 52, shared a post on her Instagram as she confirmed her family is safe, some 48 hours after multiple fires broke out in Southern California on Jan. 7.
“Our beloved Los Angeles… We are in deep grief for so many of our close friends who have lost everything,” she wrote in a caption. “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.”
Paltrow lives in Los Angeles with her husband Brad Falchuk, whom she married in September 2018. The actress was previously married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, with whom she shares two children: daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses Martin, 18. (Falchuk, 53, has two children, Brody and Isabella, from his first marriage.)
The Oscar winner reflected on her college-aged children’s growth in a list of everything she “let go of’ during 2024 that she shared on Instagram Dec. 29, starting that clip by saying she let go of “the phase of life where everyone is always under one roof.”
Paltrow is among dozens of actors and celebrities checking in on social media as the wildfires continue. A number of celebrities — including Billy Crystal, Anna Faris, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Ricki Lake, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Melissa Rivers, and Paris Hilton — have lost their homes in the blazes. Plus the Critics Choice Awards, which are held in Santa Monica, postponed its Jan. 12 ceremony to Jan. 26, and multiple film premieres have been canceled this week as well.
Jamie Lee Curtis pledged that her family intends to donate $1 million to support victims of the natural disaster in a Jan. 9 Instagram post as she confirmed that her home in the city’s Pacific Palisades neighborhood remains safe.
“I’m in communication with Governor [Gavin] Newsom and Mayor [Karen] Bass and Senator [Adam] Schiff as to where those funds need to be directed for the most impact,” Curtis wrote in her post.
