The Oscar winner was visibly emotional on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon as she worried about her Pacific Palisades neighborhood amid the devastating L.A. wildfires.

Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis is potentially staring down yet another nomination at this year's Academy Awards for her supporting role in The Last Show Girl alongside Pamela Anderson.

But awards glory unsurprisingly seems to be the last thing on the Hollywood icon's mind amid the horrifying wildfires ravaging parts of Los Angeles, including her own neighborhood, Pacific Palisades.


During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Curtis was visibly emotional as she recounted the situation to Fallon and expressed her worries about her own home.

As Fallon began their interview, Curtis was immediately choked up thinking about the situation in Los Angeles. She told Fallon:

“I’m literally just about to cry..."
"...As you know where I live is on fire right now. Literally the entire city of the Pacific Palisades is burning.”

Curtis said she found out about the disaster while en route to New York to appear on the show

"I was on the plane, started getting texts and it’s [bleep] gnarly, you guys.”
“It’s just a catastrophe in Southern California. Obviously there have been horrific fires in many places [but] this is literally where I live.”

She went on to tell Fallon that most of her neighborhood is gone, from her local market to the schools in the area.

Curtis also urged those in the audience to help with relief efforts for the disaster, which has impacted not just Pacific Palisades but other more working-class areas of Los Angeles, like the historic Black community of Altadena, the worst-hit area of the nearby Eaton fire.

She told Fallon's audience:

“Do anything you can. Anything in your community to help people. Whether you need it or not now, you will need it. Give blood, donate, whatever you can do.”

Curtis has also put her money where her mouth is. She announced on January 9 that she and her husband, filmmaker Christopher Guest, have donated $1 million to relief efforts.

On social media, many were quick to express their admiration and gratitude for Curtis' donation.

The wildfires have quickly become the worst natural disaster in Los Angeles history, and have impacted people from all walks of life, despite the disinformation narratives being spun by outraged social media know-it-alls who insist it is only rich movie stars who are being affected.

As of this writing, the fires have so far burned more than 40,000 acres, an area equivalent to nearly three Manhattans. Lighter winds have allowed firefighters to get the Hurst, Lidia, Kenneth, Sunset, and Woodley fires under control, and to make progress on the Palisades and Eaton fires.

Intense Santa Ana winds are expected to pick up again in the coming days, however.

Trump Accidentally Roasts Himself With Ironic Question About 'Stupid People'

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he attempted to defend his disastrous tariff strategy to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday and issued a rhetorical question about "stupid people" that said more about him than anyone else.

Trump would later declare a full 90-day suspension of all the “reciprocal” tariffs that took effect at midnight April 10—except for those on China—in a dramatic about-face from a president who had long championed his historically high tariff rates as permanent.

Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, alongside the Faroe Islands, the only other autonomous territory within the Kingdom. Citizens of both Greenland and the Faroe Islands are full citizens of Denmark. As one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union, Greenland’s citizens are also recognized as EU citizens.
