Wildfires have wreaked havoc in LA’s Pacific Palisades, leaving a trail of destruction that has even affected the lives of some big-name celebrities like Billy Crystal and Paris Hilton.

Some stars, however, have been fortunate. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have escaped the wrath of the fires, with their homes—Hanks’ cliffside estate and Spielberg’s wooded retreat—miraculously spared while nearby properties burn. It’s a bittersweet moment for many in the community.
In a generous show of support, Jamie Lee Curtis has stepped up, donating $1 million to wildfire relief efforts in Southern California. Her contribution is aimed at helping both the courageous firefighters battling the blazes and the communities affected by the devastation.
