Kate Beckinsale faces heartbreak as L.A. fires destroy beloved neighborhood

Kate Beckinsale is heartbroken over the loss of her daughter's childhood neighborhood in the Los Angeles-area wildfires.

The 51-year-old actress took to her official Instagram account on Wednesday to grieve the loss of families who have lost everything, sharing the clips and footage of the wildfires engulfing schools, homes gas stations, and a park.

"Hearing the winds last night, I prayed," Beckinsale began. "I knew it would be bad — we had to evacuate many times during our life there — but the shock at the whole of the Palisades being destroyed is unthinkably horrific."

"My daughter and I lived there for most of her childhood and most of her childhood is gone," she said of her daughter 25-year-old Lily Mo Sheen. "Her primary school, every shop or restaurant we used to go to with my parents and Michael [Sheen]’s parents — and devastatingly, most of her friends' homes. My heart is broken."

"My heart is breaking for the families who have lost everything, and the people and their animals, not to mention the horses and all the wild animals, people’s businesses and livelihoods," wrote the Serendipity actress. "This is just like hell. If anyone from village needs shelter and doesn’t still have a number for me, please contact me on Instagram."

On Tuesday, January 7 wildfires erupted in Los Angeles and reportedly have spread over 2,900 acres as of 8 a.m. local time Wednesday. Residents including celebrities have been evacuated for safety concerns.
