The devastating fires in Los Angeles continue to cause fear and chaos. One person personally affected is Jamie Lee Curtis, 66.

People often have strong opinions about Hollywood and its stars, but we sometimes overlook the fact that these actors are just people, and Hollywood is their home.

Curtis had just boarded a flight to New York City for her scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon when she learned that the flames were rapidly approaching her home in Pacific Palisades.

Originally, Curtis was on The Tonight Show to promote her new film, The Last Showgirl, but before discussing the project, she became overwhelmed with emotion when the topic of the fires came up.

”I’m literally just about to cry. Mostly because of that beautiful welcome,” she began, reacting to the audience’s applause. One enthusiastic fan in the crowd even shouted, ”You’re beautiful!”
