Christina Applegate lashed out at people who think the LA fires are ‘good’ – and people have presumptions that Hollywood is only filled with celebrities and not normal people.
The actress, 53, spoke out about the fires and the criticism around them in the January 14th podcast episode with Jamie-Lynn Sigler for their MeSsy podcast.
Christina, who has Multiple Sclerosis, revealed that she had to evacuate her Hollywood Hills home for a few days due tot her fires and has a bag packed in case they have to urgently leave again.Â
‘There’s not really words for it,’ Jamie-Lynn, 43, said of the fires.
‘You know what I have words for? F*** people who are saying that it’s, you know, good. It’s Hollywood and those stupid Hollywood people. Like, you’ve gotta be kidding me,’ Christina said.Â
She also said that the city of Los Angeles is not just celebrities, as some trolls may think: ‘We’re a small portion of the city.’Â
Christina Applegate lashed out at people who think the LA fires are ‘good’ and that Hollywood is only filled with celebrities and not normal people.
‘I mean, this is a city of people that are working their a****s off at fast food chains or, you know, f***** builders and painters, and it’s a myriad of groups of humans here, so to say good riddance is real sick, and I’m not liking that whatsoever,’ Christina added.
Jamie advised Christina to ‘tune out’ the critics and trolls, to which Christina said: ‘I’ve tuned it out because they’re ridiculous, but I’m calling them out right now.’
Jamie said of the people of Los Angeles: ‘They’re all there for big dreams, and they work top to bottom, work their f****n a**** off.’
Jamie continued: ‘And sure. Is there a group of people that have been affected that will have the ability to rebuild their lives? I wouldn’t say easily, but soon? Yes.’
Adding: ‘And are there thousands of other people that literally have no idea where they will begin? Yes. And we have to hold both of them in our hearts.’

The outlet noted that the burn area is larger than the city of San Francisco.
The LA fires began on Tuesday morning amid strong Santa Ana winds battering the area.
A number of celebrity homes have been destroyed in the fires, including Leighton Meester and Adam Brody’s home, Ana Faris, Jeff Bridges, Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson, Miles Teller, Jhene Aiko, Anthony Hopkins and more.
