Sarah Michelle Gellar was among the first to voice her discontent, highlighting the irony of evacuation orders amidst gridlocked traffic without any traffic control. “City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping,” Gellar posted on her Instagram story, directly tagging the city’s and mayor’s official accounts.

This sentiment was echoed by other celebrities like Jillian Michaels and former “Dancing with the Stars” dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy, who criticized the city’s preparedness and response. Chmerkovskiy pointed out the dire situation, stating, “5th largest economy on the planet. Firefighters didn’t have enough water pressure to do their jobs?!”

The fire’s impact was severe, with mandatory evacuations leading to scenes of abandoned cars on roads, further complicating the escape for residents. Actor Steve Guttenberg took matters into his own hands, helping move stranded vehicles to clear paths for emergency services, describing the scene as “a ghost town.”

James Woods, who lost his home in the fire, went beyond criticism to blame the disaster on what he described as political mismanagement by state and local leaders. He posted on X, “This isn’t climate change, this is due to liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. One doesn’t understand the first thing about fire management and the other can’t fill the water reservoirs.”

The community’s response has been one of shock and frustration, with celebrities like Chris Pratt calling for prayers for the firefighters and those unable to evacuate. The situation has spotlighted not only the immediate crisis but also broader issues about emergency preparedness and leadership in one of America’s largest cities.

The Palisades Fire underscores a critical moment for Los Angeles, where public and celebrity voices alike are demanding better from their elected officials in times of crisis.

One of the best and most beautiful parts of the United States of America is burning down to the ground. It’s ashes, and Gavin Newscum should resign. This is all his fault!!!

Trump has been hammering Newsom non-stop since the fires started ravaging Los Angeles County, killing at least five people and destroying thousands of buildings and homes. Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Trump said:

“It’s very sad because I’ve been trying to get Gavin Newsom to allow water to come – you’d have tremendous water up there, they send it out from the Pacific – because they’re trying to protect a tiny little fish. For the sake of a smelt, they have no water… It’s a mistake of the governor, and you could say, the administration.”

Newsom’s press office offered a feeble excuse:

“LADWP said that because of the high water demand, pump stations at lower elevations did not have enough pressure refill tanks at higher elevations, and the ongoing fire hampered the ability of crews to access the pumps. Broadly speaking, there is no water shortage in Southern California right now, despite Trump’s claims that he would open some imaginary spigot.”

Democrats across the state have been taking heat. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was lambasted for not answering basic questions from a Sky News reporter when she arrived from her vacation in Africa.

To make matters worse, she botched her press conference by reading “URL” instead of giving the actual URL that residents should visit:
