Fires in Los Angeles: Actor Rory Callum Sykes died in his family home

British actor Rory Callum Sykes, former child star of the Australian series “Kiddy Kapers”, died at the age of 32 in the fires that have ravaged Los Angeles since January 7. His mother said he was at the family home in Malibu when it was engulfed in flames on January 8.

“It is with great sadness that I must announce the death of my beautiful son Rory Sykes in the Malibu fires yesterday. “I’m heartbroken…I tried to put out the ashes on his roof with a garden hose, but I couldn’t because the water had been shut off by the utility.” , she wrote. The 30-year-old was born blind, had cerebral palsy and had difficulty walking. “He overcame so much with operations and therapies to regain his sight and be able to learn to walk.”
