The actress, famous for her role in the series “Alias”, is one of the people who volunteered to feed the evacuees.

“My heart bleeds for my friends,” she added. “I can think of 100 families and 5,000 houses destroyed. I could write, without even thinking, a list of 100 friends who lost their homes,” laments the actress, who admits to being affected by a feeling of guilt in view of her situation.
-“I almost feel guilty walking around my house. You know, what can I do? How can I help? What can I offer? What do I have to offer with these hands, these walls and the security I have? » she continues, her voice breaking.
If her house was spared by the fires, the 52-year-old actress therefore mobilized to lend a helping hand to the affected population by volunteering in a pop-up restaurant in Los Angeles set up to provide food. She was notably photographed serving meals to the victims, but also firefighters who fought the fire.
