She went on to say, “So many families, communities, and first responders are facing unimaginable challenges and losses right now. We stand with you all, and encourage everyone to lend a hand howerver they can. Please stay strong and take care of each another.” Through her words, Jennie encouraged solidarity and compassion in the face of tragedy, urging people to come together in support.
Along with her message, Jennie also included a link that provided detailed information on how people could assist with relief efforts, including supplies and accommodation for those displaced by the fires.
Meanwhile, Lisa’s agency LLOUD also published an update related to the wildfires, saying, “Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating LA wildfires. The loss of homes, businesses, and the impact on so many lives is truly heartbreaking. We also want to express our deepest gratitude to all the first responders who continue to risk everything to keep us safe. Your bravery and selflessness mean the world to us.”
The wildfires, which began on January 7, have tragically claimed at least 11 lives, with approximately 150,000 people forced to evacuate their homes. As the fires continued to spread, reports on the fourth day indicated that roughly a quarter of the area equivalent to Seoul had been consumed by the flames. The scale of the disaster has been overwhelming, leaving many people in dire need of help and support.
