Wealthy Los Angeles residents turned on Governor Gavin Newsom (pictured below) and Mayor Karen Bass for their response to devastating wildfires.
Paris Hilton, Anthony Hopkins, James Woods, John Goodman, Miles Teller, Hunter Biden, and Leonardo DiCaprio are some of the bold names who lost their homes in the largest wildfires in California’s history. Property damages are estimated at $50 billion.
A $10 million mansion once owned by actor Leonardo DiCaprio burned to the ground. Wealthy residents hired security firms to stop looters from stealing.
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass is under fire for traveling to Ghana while the city’s fire and critical weather warnings grew worse.
A-listers took to their social media accounts to shame the L.A. mayor’s response to the infernos that have been spreading since Tuesday.
Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar took to Instagram to express her outrage, writing: “City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping.”
Actress Sara Foster wrote on X: “We pay the highest taxes in California. Our fire hydrants were empty. Our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared. Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders wanted to save fish…”
Valentin Chmerkovskiy, a professional dancer on “Dancing with the Stars”, tweeted, “5th largest economy on the planet. Firefighters didn’t have enough water pressure to do their job?! Are you joking me?! The taxes we pay for 3rd world infrastructure is unbelievable?! Come on.”
Viral video shows firefighters using women’s handbags to put out a blaze because L.A.’s mayor cut $17 million in funding from the fire department.
President Biden and Gov. Newsom sent “surplus fire equipment” from Los Angeles to Ukraine.

All the money went to DEI and woke causes. Residents of California are paying the price for @GavinNewsom's policies.

The fires wiped out Pacific Palisades the same week that President Biden authorized another $500 million to Ukraine.

5 people are confirmed dead and 2,000 structures burned to the ground, including mansions, shopping malls, stores and churches. 130,000 people were ordered to evacuate and 20 square miles of valuable land went up in flames.
Hotels in Los Angeles are booked to capacity with hundreds of homeless celebrities and residents taking refuge.
Paris Hilton, 43, said she watched her waterfront Malibu home burn to the ground on live television in an emotional social media post Wednesday.
“Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,” the socialite said on X/Twitter.
The Malibu house is not her main residence, but she was staying there with her 5 puppies when the wildfires began.
Hilton said she bundled her “babies”, her five dogs, into the back of her car as she fled her Malibu mansion in the middle of the night.
She shared a video clip of her animals all gathered together on the backseat as she described running around her home to find each of her pets.
She said: “Okay we found everyone – we are packing up the car and getting ready to go to the hotel.”

Paris owns multiple luxury homes, including a penthouse in New York City. Her main residence is this 5 bedroom, 6 bath Beverly Hills mansion that she shares with her husband Carter Reum and their 2 children.
At least 5 wildfires are still blazing in the Los Angeles area. A fire broke out in the Hollywood Hills near the famed Hollywood sign. But, unlike Pacific Palisades where fire hydrants ran dry, L.A. firefighters used helicopters to drop ocean water to protect Hollywood’s tourist attractions.
Los Angeles residents complained that the wildfires were intentionally set to destroy homes so Wall Street investment firm Blackrock can buy land to build rental homes (“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.”)
“Los Angeles must never forgive the useless liberals who sleepwalked into this inferno,” said Maureen Callahan, an American writer for DailyMail.com.
Celebrities criticized Gov. Newsom for removing dams to save tiny fish called smelt.
That fish better be the most grateful fish on face on the planet.. I know that much.

Unbelievable. Now we don't have water to deal with the wildfires.

I can’t get my head around no water in the fire hydrants. NONE. No brush management for 30 years, incompetent evac planning, and no water for firefighters to combat the flames. The helplessness these people must feel. Pray for these people, this is devastating pic.twitter.com/4PfMEgMwL0
