AceShowbiz - In the wake of devastating wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles County, celebrities are taking to social media to express their frustration with the city's leadership, particularly targeting L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Criticism has been widespread as many high-profile residents and average citizens alike find themselves grappling with the aftermath of the infernos.

Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, renowned for her role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," was among the most vocal, highlighting the chaotic evacuation process on Instagram. "City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping," she wrote, tagging Mayor Bass and the City of Los Angeles.

Similarly, Sara Foster, known for her role in "90210," took to X to voice her frustration over what she described as "the current state of her city." Foster lamented the lack of preparedness, citing empty fire hydrants, overgrown vegetation, and depleted reservoirs.

"Our fire department budget was cut by our mayor. But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits," she tweeted. Foster went further to demand resignations from both Bass and Governor Newsom, accusing their policies of ruining the state and their party.

Veteran actor James Woods, who tragically lost his home in the Palisades Fire, also joined the chorus of criticism. On X, Woods dismissed claims linking the fires to climate change and instead blamed the state's leadership, calling them "liberal idiots." He stated, "One doesn't understand the first thing about fire management and the other can't fill the water reservoirs."

Additionally, "Shazam!" star Zachary Levi both condemned the local government's handling of the situation.

The frustration wasn't limited to actors alone. Professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy underscored the lack of water, pointing out the stark irony given California's economic stature. Levi, on the other hand, criticized the leadership's "criminally negligent" mismanagement during a segment on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

As flames continued to scorch the landscape, claiming numerous homes of A-listers like Paris Hilton, Miles Teller, and Heidi Montag, the sentiment among those affected was one of despair and disillusionment. By Thursday morning, January 9 the fires had consumed nearly 30,000 acres, with over five lives lost.

This backlash represents a significant shift as Hollywood, often seen as an ally to Democratic leadership, turns the spotlight on what many view as gross inadequacies in crisis management and resource allocation during one of Southern California's most harrowing episodes.
