Amid the raging wildfires in Los Angeles, Bollywood star Preity Zinta shared an update about her family. Preity has been staying in the US ever since she got married to Los Angeles-based financial analyst Gene Goodenough. The actor took to social media to assure fans that she is ‘safe as of now’ and also shared that she is ‘heartbroken at the devastation’ in Los Angeles.

Preity posted on her X account, “I never thought I would live to see a day where fires would ravage neighbourhoods around us in La, friends & families either evacuated or put on high alert, ash descending from smoggy skies like snow & fear & uncertainty about what will happen if the wind does not calm down with toddlers and grandparents with us.”

The actor added, “I’m heartbroken at the devastation around us & grateful to god 🙏that we are safe as of now. My thoughts & prayers to people that are displaced & have lost everything in these fires. Hope the wind dies down soon & the fires are contained. A big thank you 🙏 to the fire department, fire fighters & everyone else helping to save lives & property. Stay safe everyone ❤️.”

Earlier, Nora Fatehi, who was also in LA, shared a video on her Instagram story and wrote, “I’ve never seen anything like this. This is insane. We just got an evacuation order like five minutes ago. So, I quickly packed all my stuff and I’m evacuating out of here, out of this area. I’m going to go near the airport and stay there, because I have a flight today and I really hope I can catch it. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled because this s**t is scary. I have never experienced this before.”

Priyanka Chopra Jonas also lives in LA with her singer husband Nick Jonas, and daughter Malti Marie. She shared a series of photos and videos after the LA fire broke out. “My thoughts are with everyone. I hope we are all able to be safe tonight,” wrote Priyanka.

The California wildfires have wreaked havoc, affecting thousands, including several Hollywood celebrities. Many homes have been reduced to ashes, while others have been evacuated at the last minute.
