He warns right away: he doesn’t live in Los Angeles, but he knows it from having filmed many films there and having received two Oscars. Michael Douglas took to Instagram to discuss the fires that have been affecting Los Angeles for five days and which have left at least sixteen dead.
“This is a nightmarish tragedy, beyond anything I could have imagined, probably for anyone else too. I know some people talk about movie stars losing their homes, but there are so many other people who have lost their homes as well. People who work in local industries, who only earn an hourly wage; Republicans and Democrats. “It’s a huge number of people who have lost their homes and who, perhaps, have no insurance,” says the actor.

“A humanitarian question”
If the destroyed houses of stars have focused attention, hundreds of thousands of residents of the City of Angels find themselves homeless and have lost everything. The actor wants to get involved in helping the victims of the fires. “My father, Kirk, and my stepmother have a foundation, the Douglas Foundation, and I asked the board of directors to make a donation which I will complete. “It’s a way to get the ball rolling, and we’re going to give our contribution to the American Red Cross,” he explains before calling for unity. “I hope that everyone across the country, regardless of whether we’re in ‘blue’ or ‘red’ states, Republican or Democrat, understands that this is a humanitarian issue, and it really, really is a major crisis. So please, please do whatever you can to help everyone. »
