Jennifer Lopez 'cancels all media appearances' amid LA fires so she can 'focus on supporting the community'

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly canceled all her upcoming media appearances amid the catastrophic wildfires ravaging Los Angeles.

Beginning this Tuesday, the area was struck by its worst windstorms in over a decade, fueling fires that have destroyed thousands of structures and claimed at least 11 lives over the course of the week.

About 130,000 people were put under evacuation orders or warnings, as the authorities sent out K-9 units trained to detect human remains in the wreckage.

One blaze in the Pacific Palisades has consumed a number of celebrity homes, including residences owned by Paris Hilton, Jeff Bridges, Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, James Woods, Miles Teller, Tina Knowles and Anna Faris.

Now it has emerged that the crisis prompted Lopez, 55, to scrap her publicity rounds for her movie Unstoppable, which arrives on Amazon Prime next Friday.

'It's important to her to focus on supporting the community of Los Angeles during this very difficult time,' a source close to her told People. 

Unstoppable is a biopic starring Jharrel Jerome as one-legged wrestling champion Anthony Robles, with Lopez playing his mother Judy.

The movie was scheduled to have a premiere at Hollywood's iconic TCL Chinese Theatre on Tuesday, but the event was called off in light of the wildfires.

Next week, Lopez was due to fly to New York to promote the film on shows like Live With Kelly And Mark, Today, The View and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 

However she is said to have canceled her trip entirely in order to devote her attention to assisting the fire relief efforts in Los Angeles. 

Earlier this week, she posted Insta Stories detailing 'resources to help those impacted,' including information about shelter locations and animal care.

She has reportedly been 'checking in' with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, and his children Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 12, amid the deadly wildfires.

The actress is said to have felt 'worried and concerned' after learning that her former spouse and his family were among the 130,000 people under evacuation orders, which have extended from the Pacific Coast to inland Pasadena.

A source told Page Six that she 'reached out as soon as she heard about Ben’s home possibly being in danger and that he was evacuated' and to see how he was coping during the 'whole ordeal.'

Additionally, she 'let him know she’s there for him and the kids,' who he shares with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

'She offered her support for whatever they need,' the insider noted. 

To Affleck and his loved ones' relief, his property has survived the massive wildfires ripping through Los Angeles.

After fleeing his residence, he was seen heading for safety at Garner's home. 

Although Affleck was lucky that his home survived when so many other Westside stars and Pacific Palisades residents lost their homes, he isn't out of the woods.

Blustery winds continue to whip across Los Angeles and could still ignite new fires, though they appear to have mellowed somewhat from their highs on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

Since the fire broke out in Pacific Palisades, new fires have started further east in Altadena, which forced major evacuations in nearby Pasadena on Tuesday night.

More fires broke out in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday, threatening heavily populated parts of Hollywood.

The Armageddon star has only been living in Pacific Palisades for a short time after he bought a home in the area for $20.5 million following his separation from Lopez.

Although it's far from the opulent retreat that he and his ex had lived in together in Beverly Hills, it's not exactly tiny with 6,247 square feet and five bedrooms and six bathrooms.

Prior to living in his current home he had lived at the massive, 38,000 square foot Georgian mansion that he and Lopez purchased for $60 million.

It boasts 12 bedrooms and 24 bathroom and features numerous amenities, including a 12-car garage and an elevator, but so far the couple haven't found a buyer after putting it on the market for $68 million.

After separating from Jennifer — but prior to her going public with her divorce filing — Ben had been seen living in a Brentwood rental, which isn't too far from his current home and kept him in the same neighborhood that his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and his children live in. 

Although Ben has so far been lucky, other celebrities experienced heartbreak due to the fierce flames.

Stars including Adam Brody and Leighton Meester whose home was destroyed, along with Anna Faris' mansion.

John Goodman and Anthony Hopkins were left with nothing but rubble after their homes burned, and Billy Crystal and Eugene Levy also lost their houses.

Actor James Woods shared video of the approaching flames shortly before he evacuated ahead of the destruction of his house. 

The Hills stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag saw their home destroyed in the wildfire, and Spencer was pictured looking somberly at the approaching flames before his family was forced to flee.
