Julia Roberts Criticizes Looters During LA Fires

Julia Roberts expressed her outrage against looters targeting multimillion-dollar homes left vulnerable due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, posting on Instagram, 'F.U. looters.' As approximately 30 arrests have been made for looting during this crisis, Roberts highlighted the urgent need for support and healing in affected communities. She promoted the SoCal Fire Fund, which aims to provide immediate and long-term aid to those impacted by the fires, while also emphasizing the devastation caused by the disaster. California Governor Gavin Newsom has condemned the looting and clarified that it remains illegal, countering claims from Elon Musk suggesting decriminalization. The wildfires have created opportunities for crime as many luxury homes have been evacuated and left unguarded. The situation has also led to disruptions in the entertainment industry, including delays in Oscar nominations due to the ongoing crisis.
