But she revealed that her own home “is safe.”
“Our beloved neighborhood is gone. Our home is safe. So many others have lost everything. Help where you can. Thank you to the first responders and firefighters. @americanredcross,” Curtis wrote on Instagram.

Jamie Lee Curtis Wrote That the Wildfire Was ‘Particularly Shocking’
In a post about eight hours before the update, Curtis shared, “My community and possibly my home is on fire. My family is safe. Many of my friends will lose their homes. Many other communities as well. There are so many conflicting reports.”
She added: “With all the technology there seems to be very little information. PLEASE POST FACTS! IT WILL HELP THOSE WONDERING! It is a terrifying situation and I’m grateful to the firefighters and all of the good Samaritans who are helping people get out of the way of the blaze.”
Continued Curtis: “Neighbors have taken care of neighbors. We ALL take everything for granted because we are all living our lives but when it hits your community, it’s particularly shocking. Life on life’s terms. If ever there was need for the use of the phrase MY HAND IN YOURS, it is right now. Take care of each other. Stay out of the way and let the firefighters do their work. Pray if you believe in it and even if you don’t, pray for those who do. @ethanswopephoto.”
