In an emotional social media post, Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Lee Curtis (“Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “True Lies,” “Knives Out”) shared that the church she “got sober in 25 years ago” was destroyed in the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.
“This is the church in the Palisades that had a beautiful Sunday school and school and was a gorgeous house of worship and is the building that I got sober in 25 years ago,” Curtis wrote above a photo of a church building on fire. “I think of all of the souls who came there for comfort and solace and all the baptisms and funerals and weddings and the thousands of people who reclaimed their lives through Sobriety.”
Curtis continued, “Also, the women’s club in the Palisades where I met many sober people. Both are gone. Tough times. We will persevere. God bless you all.”

Wind gusts up to 100 miles per hour continue to fuel blazing infernos across Los Angeles County. To date, the wildfires have claimed the lives of at least five people and burned more than 29,000 acres destroying an estimated 2,000 structures, including homes and businesses.
The wildfires have forced 19 Los Angeles school districts to suspend classes and activities. The Los Angeles Unified School District stated that the “confluence of factors—wind, fire, and smoke—have created dangerous, complex situations that present unsafe conditions for our school communities.”
The wildfires have placed an estimated 180,000 people under evacuation orders and warnings.
While appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday, Jan. 8, Curtis told Fallon, “I’m literally just about to cry…as you know, where I live is on fire right now. Literally the entire city of the Pacific Palisades is burning.”
