Kylie Jenner says 'thank you God for our firefighters' amid deadly LA fires

1 week ago 26

Kylie Jenner took a moment on Sunday to express gratitude to the people battling the Los Angeles wildfires.

The 27-year-old cosmetics mogul — who attended the Golden Globes last week with her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet — shared an Instagram post from InsightLA Meditation dedicated to the city's fire department.

'Our appreciation of you is boundless,' it read, and Kylie added her own note saying, 'thank you God for our firefighters,' along with a prayer hands emoji.

Jenner and her family are part of the droves of celebrities who have been forced to flee their mansions as fires sweep through Southern California, though many more of the over 100,000 people who were forced to evacuate have not been wealthy stars.

Some A-listers have escaped the flames, only for their homes to burn to the ground

Kylie's older sister Khloé Kardashian, 40, also praised the people on the ground who have dedicated themselves to putting out the historic firestorm and helping with recovery efforts.

The devastation began on Tuesday morning when heavy wind and lack of rain created the perfect condition for a brush fire in the Pacific Palisades. Firefighters are still working around the clock to contain the flames at multiple locations throughout LA

The Good American founder wrote, 'Dear Firefighters, volunteers, First Responders, and Frontline workers, Thank you for your unwavering courage and dedication in the face of these devastating fires.

'Your tireless efforts to protect lives, homes, and communities do not go unnoticed. We are deeply grateful for your bravery, compassion, and commitment to attempting to [keep] Californians safe. Please know that your work is truly appreciated by all of us.'

The heartfelt message went on to say, 'I pray for your safety and strength as you continue to serve. May God watch over you and your loved ones, granting you protection and peace during this challenging time.'

The reality television personality had a different message for Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who has come under scrutiny for cutting around $17.5 million from the fire department budget for this fiscal year just months before the catastrophic infernos began.

While supporting LA Fire Chief Kristin Crowley in an Instagram post on Friday, Khloé wrote, 'I stand with YOU Chief Crowley!!!!' 

She added, 'You spoke the truth and you had tears in your eyes because I can tell you didn't want to say that but it was THE TRUTH!!!!

Thank you for being honest @losangelesfiredepartment Chief Crowley. Mayor Bass you are a joke!!!!' 

Among the A-list stars whose homes have been reduced to ash are Jhene Aiko, Anthony Hopkins, and Miles Teller.

The devastation in Southern California began unfolding on Tuesday morning when a combination of heavy wind and lack of rain created the perfect condition for a brush fire in the Pacific Palisades.

The flames quickly spread, and as of Sunday, over 23,000 acres of land have been scorched in the Palisades fire alone, with firefighters still working around the clock to contain the flames there and at other locations throughout LA.

The Pacific Palisades was home to celebrities including Reese Witherspoon, Anna Farris, Tyra Banks and many more.

Paris Hilton lost her Malibu mansion in the blaze and launched an emergency fund, starting with a $100,000 donation to other victims.

Along with her generous contribution, the heiress revealed that she will match 'additional dollars raised up to $100,000 more' and said she plans to volunteer on-site this weekend.
