Prayers are being offered for Los Angeles as Firefighters tirelessly battle the wildfires that have tragically affected Pacific Palisades, resulting in the loss of homes, businesses, and lives. So far, two lives have been lost, and over 1,000 structures have been burned.
Actor James Woods spoke with CNN about losing his renovated home before the wildfires. He was visibly emotional and often teared up as he recounted how he and his wife evacuated. He also helped his ninety-four-year-old neighbor, who has dementia, get to safety.
“He’d been left alone,” Woods said. “There was so much chaos, it was like an inferno. Every house was on fire around us.”
