James Woods' Home Survives, Criticizes Leadership

James Woods' home in Pacific Palisades miraculously survived the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, despite initial fears that it was lost. The actor expressed his relief and gratitude on social media, highlighting the stark contrast between his intact house and the widespread destruction around it, which has led to the loss of thousands of structures. The fires have prompted mass evacuations and resulted in significant damage, with a death toll reported at 24 and strong winds complicating firefighting efforts. Amid the devastation, Woods praised local firefighters and shared a story of a neighbor who helped evacuate an elderly resident. However, he criticized California's leadership for the hazardous conditions that fueled the fires. Other celebrities, including Paris Hilton and Billy Crystal, have not been as fortunate, with their homes reportedly destroyed.
