In the midst of the raging Palisades Fire, Hollywood celebrities have taken to social media to express their frustration with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s handling of the emergency. The fire, fueled by relentless Santa Ana winds, erupted in the Santa Monica Mountains and rapidly spread, consuming nearly 3,000 acres by nightfall.
Sarah Michelle Gellar was among the first to voice her discontent, highlighting the irony of evacuation orders amidst gridlocked traffic without any traffic control. “City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping,” Gellar posted on her Instagram story, directly tagging the city’s and mayor’s official accounts.

This sentiment was echoed by other celebrities like Jillian Michaels and former “Dancing with the Stars” dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy, who criticized the city’s preparedness and response. Chmerkovskiy pointed out the dire situation, stating, “5th largest economy on the planet. Firefighters didn’t have enough water pressure to do their jobs?!”
The fire’s impact was severe, with mandatory evacuations leading to scenes of abandoned cars on roads, further complicating the escape for residents. Actor Steve Guttenberg took matters into his own hands, helping move stranded vehicles to clear paths for emergency services, describing the scene as “a ghost town.”
James Woods, who lost his home in the fire, went beyond criticism to blame the disaster on what he described as political mismanagement by state and local leaders. He posted on X, “This isn’t climate change, this is due to liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. One doesn’t understand the first thing about fire management and the other can’t fill the water reservoirs.”
The community’s response has been one of shock and frustration, with celebrities like Chris Pratt calling for prayers for the firefighters and those unable to evacuate. The situation has spotlighted not only the immediate crisis but also broader issues about emergency preparedness and leadership in one of America’s largest cities.
The Palisades Fire underscores a critical moment for Los Angeles, where public and celebrity voices alike are demanding better from their elected officials in times of crisis.
