Sara Foster
Foster called on Bass and Newsom to resign in an X post. Foster wrote:
“We pay the highest taxes in California.” “Our fire hydrants were empty. Our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared. Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut by our mayor. But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits.”
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Gellar tagged Bass and the city of Los Angeles on her Instagram story as she shared frustrations about the evacuation process. Gellar wrote:
“City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping.”
James Woods
Woods placed blame on Bass and Newsom as he replied to a user on X about the wildfire. Woods wrote:
“It’s because liberal idiots like you elect liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. One doesn’t understand the first thing about fire management and the other can’t fill the water reservoirs.”
Woods, who lives in the Pacific Palisades area, evacuated from his home on Tuesday.
Jillian Michaels
Fitness expert Jillian Michaels, who lost her home to a wildfire in 2018, said she helped to evacuate her mother on Wednesday. Michaels criticized Bass in an X post.

Foster and her sister have revealed to have felt resentment to her father’s distance growing up, sharing on their podcast “I was dealing with my whole own emotional turmoil, which was watching my father raise other children. They had a very different life.” Foster and her sisters struggled with being perceived as spoiled rich kids while living a different reality, “We did not have a trust fund; we had to have a job.”
New wildfires emerged in Los Angeles overnight as the city continues to battle two other fires in the area.
