This time, it's a fake video of American star Jennifer Lopez among the “rubble” of her alleged house that has gone viral as you can see in the video at the top of the article.
In this moving, but completely fake video, singer and actress Jennifer Lopez crouches among burned debris, with a book at her feet. A piano is behind her. We also see what appears to be a trophy, the famous “ dusted price » that the star « pick up carefully » according to the caption of the video, posted on TikTok and viewed 21.5 million times.
Visible inconsistencies

The singer also donated clothes and basic necessities to the victims of the fires.
-She is not the only star to have been the subject of fake news in connection with the California fires. A week ago, a photo of Robert Redford's so-called Oscar miraculously preserved from the flames was circulating on social networks. “ The only thing left of the actor's house » according to the rumor. Again, this is a photo likely generated using artificial intelligence. Ditto for the numerous videos of the Hollywood sign engulfed in fire, widely shared on Instagram and Facebook.
