Julia Roberts says 'f*** you' to looters as $10M homes continue to be robbed during LA fires

Julia Roberts delivered a spicy comment to criminals who are preying on the vulnerable during the LA fires.

On Monday the Pretty Woman star took to Instagram with a rare remark.

'F.U. looters,' wrote the mother of three who is married to movie cinematographer Danny Moder. 

Indeed, looters are still targeting empty mansions in the $10M range that have been left unsupervised as families evacuate. In many areas the fire alarms are off because the power is out. And police are not accessing the areas easily due to fire hazards. 

This comes as California governor Gavin Newsom accused the tech billionaire Elon Musk of 'encouraging looting.'

Elon has been sharing disinformation; Musk, who is President-elect Donald Trump's supporter.

Musk said that Gavin was decriminalizing looting but that is not true.

'Stop encouraging looting by lying and telling people it's decriminalized. It's not,' Newsom wrote. 'It's illegal – as it always has been.'

About 30 people have been arrested for suspected looting.

Most of Julia's post was about the devastation over the Palisades fires. 'There is so much healing and help needed. We will get through this,' wrote the Oscar-winning star.

She then plugged a talent agency that is reaching out with money. 

'@caafoundation alongside @coreresponse @eifoundation @lausd are launching SoCal Fire Fund to assist in providing Immediate and Long Term support for all those impacted by these current fires.'

Julia is known to have owned a home in Malibu.

She then moved to San Francisco but sold her home. She has since been seen in the Bay Area, but it is not clear where she resides.

This comes after news the Oscars nominations have been delayed for a second time as wildfires raged across Los Angeles, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The Academy previously offered a two-day extension to the voting window 'to give members more time to cast their ballots', pushing back the nominations announcement until January 19 as thousands were evacuated from their homes.

On Monday, chief executive Bill Kramer and Academy president Janet Yang confirmed nominations for the 97th Oscars will be rescheduled until January 23 in a virtual event 'without in-person media coverage'.

'We are all devastated by the impact of the fires and the profound losses experienced by so many in our community,' a joint statement said. 

'The Academy has always been a unifying force within the film industry, and we are committed to standing together in the face of hardship.

'Due to the still-active fires in the Los Angeles area, we feel it is necessary to extend our voting period and move the date of our nominations announcement to allow additional time for our members.'

Mr Kramer and Ms Yang also confirmed they have made 'imperative' changes to scheduled events, including cancelling the annual nominees luncheon, to be 'sensitive to the infrastructure and lodging needs of the region in these next few weeks'.

The Oscars ceremony remains scheduled for Sunday, March 2 at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.
