Jamie Lee Curtis fights back tears while talking about L.A. fires

People often have strong opinions about Hollywood and its stars, but we sometimes overlook the fact that these actors are just people, and Hollywood is their home.

The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have brought fear and heartbreak to thousands, including actress Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, who found herself personally affected by the catastrophe.

Curtis had just boarded a flight to New York City for her scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon when she learned that the flames were rapidly approaching her home in Pacific Palisades.

Though she later confirmed her house had been spared, many of her neighbors lost everything as the fire tore through their community.

”I’m literally just about to cry”
Originally, Curtis was on The Tonight Show to promote her new film, The Last Showgirl, but before discussing the project, she became overwhelmed with emotion when the topic of the fires came up.
