As large-scale wildfires have been spreading throughout Los Angeles, the largest city in the western United States, for five days, Hollywood actor Mel Gibson, who lost his home in the wildfires, harshly criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom.
According to the BBC on the 10th (local time), Gibson revealed that the house he had lived in for 15 years was destroyed by a forest fire while recording a podcast. At the time of the fire, he was visiting Austin, Texas, to appear on a podcast.
Gibson said, “It was a miserable feeling,” and criticized Governor Newsom, saying, “He said he would solve the forest fire problem, but he did nothing.” He added sarcastically, “I think all our tax money went into Gavin’s hair gel.”
Gibson supported President-elect Donald Trump during last year’s U.S. presidential election.
The forest fire that started on the 7th has been difficult to contain despite the efforts of the authorities and the federal government. The fire extinguishment rate still remains in the 10% range.
The area affected by the forest fire is about a quarter of the area of Seoul, and the death toll has increased to 16. It was reported that more than 12,000 buildings were damaged and more than 180,000 people were evacuated.
In addition to Gibson, many Hollywood actors, including Jeff Bridges, Adam Brody, Milo Ventimiglia, and Billy Cristall, lost their homes in this wildfire.
Hollywood stars stepped up to help victims of the worst forest fire in history. Actresses Sharon Stone and Halle Berry donated clothes and shoes, and Paris Hilton, whose mansion burned down in a forest fire, started an emergency fundraiser for residents.
Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle visited shelters and comforted the victims.
