Promising to share resources to aid victims of the disaster, Chris Pratt shared, “My heart goes out to those who have lost everything during this time. God Bless.”

"We are absolutely devastated for the community of Los Angeles. This is an unimaginable tragedy and my heart goes out to those who have lost everything during this time," he shared.

The fires, which ignited on Tuesday, January 7, have swept through various parts of Los Angeles, including Malibu, Altadena, Pacific Palisades, and the Hollywood Hills.

High winds and dry vegetation have fueled the fast-moving flames, forcing over 80,000 residents to flee.

Authorities report at least 10 fire-related deaths, with names withheld pending identification and notification of next of kin.

Thousands of structures have been destroyed or damaged as firefighters struggle to contain the infernos.

Numerous celebrities have lost homes in the disaster, including Leighton Meester, Adam Brody, Ricki Lake, Paris Hilton, and Cameron Mathison.

Anna Faris, Pratt’s ex-wife and mother of his 12-year-old son Jack, also lost her home.

“Anna and her family are safe and very grateful,” a representative for the actress told People on Wednesday, January 8.

Jamie Lee Curtis and her husband, screenwriter Christopher Guest, have donated $1 million to aid those affected by the wildfires.

Curtis became visibly emotional on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on Wednesday, January 8, while discussing the fires' impact on her neighborhood in Pacific Palisades.

"My community and possibly my home is on fire," she tearfully said.

"The entire city feels like it’s burning. This is a catastrophe for Southern California," Curtis added.
