Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal CityWalk are closed Wednesday due to wildfires raging in Southern California. The park plans to reopen Thursday. The fires have also forced the cancellation of the SAG Awards nominations announcement.
As fires swept through the southern California area due to high winds and dry conditions, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal CityWalk will be closed on Wednesday. A Universal spokesperson confirmed the closures in a statement to Entertainment Weekly, saying, 'We will continue to assess the situation and expect to open for business tomorrow. The safety of our team members and our guests is our top priority.' The park last closed for an emergency in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The fires have also impacted other organizations in Los Angeles, including the SAG Awards organization, which canceled its live nominations announcement scheduled to be hosted by actors Cooper Koch and Joey King. Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to share her experience, writing, '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. With all the technology there seems to be very little information. PLEASE POST FACTS! IT WILL HELP THOSE WONDERING!,' Curtis also filmed a blaze in her area and shared the resulting videos to TikTok.
