During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, January 8, the actress and producer grew very emotional as she spoke about the wildfire near her home.

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.

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

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.

Through tears, she continued, ”As you know, where I live is on fire right now. Literally, the entire city of the Pacific Palisades is burning.”
