As wildfires rage across Southern California, celebrities are raising suspicions about arson, despite authorities stating the cause remains unknown. Several celebrities have taken to social media, alleging that people are intentionally starting the fires, citing claims of people in ski masks and videos showing individuals near recently ignited blazes. While the Los Angeles Police Department denies receiving reports of arson, the widespread speculation adds another layer of concern to the already devastating situation.
As the Los Angeles wildfires continue to consume parts of Southern California, leaving homes destroyed and families displaced, many are left wondering how this all happened. Authorities have deployed arson investigators to the Pacific Palisades to determine the origin of the blaze that consumed thousands of structures in the neighborhood. 'The cause of the fire remains unknown, and it continues to be under active investigation,' Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said Thursday.
personality Elizabeth Chambers reposed a screenshot of reports of people allegedly starting fires. 'Feels like this is a lot more than nature,' she wrote on her Instagram stories. Celebrity podcaster and neuroscientist Andrew Huberman shared a video on X that purportedly shows a group of people standing near what appears to be a freshly-started fire in Santa Monica. 'People are lighting fires in otherwise non-burning areas of LA,' Huberman alleged on X, alongside a video.
Roughly 180,000 people have been evacuated from their homes, and 200,000 more are under evacuation warnings. Billy Crystal, Anna Faris, Sandra Lee, Paris Hilton, and Spencer and Heidi Pratt are among a long list of celebrities who have lost their homes.
