“I am beyond heartbroken for my brother, Heidi & the kids,” Stephanie wrote on her Instagram Story. “And to all of our friends and neighbors who have lost their houses today.”
“Just spoke to my dad – he tried to save my brother’s house but the wind is so strong there was nothing he could do,” she continued. “My parents evacuated safely and are watching the fire rage towards their house on security cameras.”
The impacts of the fires have also impacted awards season with the last-minute cancellation of the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, which were previously set to be announced at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
“In an abundance of caution for the safety of our presenters, guests, and staff, the live in-person 31st SAG Awards nominations announcement has been cancelled due to the wildfires and adverse wind conditions in Los Angeles,” a Jan. 8 statement read before announcing the nominees via press release. “In the meantime, we urge everyone to stay safe.”
