Numerous celebrities have lost their homes, including Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam, Eugene Levy, Miles Teller, Anthony Hopkins, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, John Goodman, Ricki Lake, Cameron Mathison, Paris Hilton, Jeff Bridges, Tina Knowles, Candy Spelling, Diane Warren, Billy Crystal, Anna Faris, Jennifer Grey, Denise Crosby, Melissa Rivers, Cary Elwes, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, James Woods, and many more

The Oscar-winning actress became emotional while discussing the ongoing blazes that have spread across the region — including her Pacific Palisades neighborhood — during her visit to The Tonight Show. “I’m literally just about to cry, mostly because of that beautiful welcome,” Curtis teased, before becoming choked up and pausing to compose herself. “As you know, where I live is on fire right now. Literally, the entire city of Pacific Palisades is burning.”
