She wrote, While the loss is overwhelming, I’m holding onto gratitude that my family and pets are safe. My heart and prayers are going out to every family affected by these fires. To all the people who have lost their homes, their memories, and their beloved pets. My heart aches for those still in harm’s way or mourning greater losses. The devastation is unimaginable. To know so many are waking up today without the place they called home is truly heartbreaking.”
Paris also revealed that her non-profit organisations are committed to supporting those affected by the fires. She also thanked the brave firefighters and first responders for risking their lives to protect everyone.
