AceShowbiz - Lala Kent and her two daughters have been severely impacted by the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. Kent, aged 34, took to Instagram on January 9, 2025, to share her harrowing experience, stating that poor air quality forced her to make a critical decision for her family's safety.

"This morning, Sosa woke up and was really struggling to breathe. I made the decision to pack my family up and come to Palm Springs, strictly based on the air quality. This is where we will stay until LA is safe again," she wrote.

The wildfires, fueled by dry vegetation and severe winds, began on January 7 and quickly spread through areas like Pasadena and the Pacific Palisades. According to the Associated Press, the Palisades Fire has become the most destructive in Los Angeles County history, burning 19,978 acres of land by Thursday evening. Many celebrities, including Hollywood A-listers, lost their homes, and thousands of others had to evacuate.

Reflecting on the crisis, the "Vanderpump Rules" alum said, "This is one of the most devastating situations I have ever seen. At this point, if you were not directly affected, you know someone who has lost everything."

She admitted that despite not being directly affected, witnessing the chaos and suffering has left her heartbroken. "Neighborhoods that people have called home for decades, now nonexistent. It is unimaginable,” she added.

Living in the valley with her three-year-old daughter Ocean and four-month-old Sosa, Kent packed her bags as the fires and their consequential poor air quality intensified. "All you want is to go home for comfort, and 1,000s of people don't have their safe place anymore," she lamented. Beyond the flames, Kent highlighted the secondary disasters the community faces: looters, lack of water, and inadequate preparations.

Amid her emotional turmoil, she expressed gratitude toward the firefighters and first responders tirelessly battling the infernos. "For now, all I want to do is say thank you to our firefighters and first responders. Our city's heroes," she proclaimed.

Concluding her heartfelt posts, she added, "And to everyone affected - I know you feel alone. You are not alone." On a final note, she hinted at an unresolved anger that she plans to address at another time.

As her community grapples with loss and displacement, Kent's message of solidarity and gratitude offers a beacon of hope. "You are not alone," she reminds those affected, sharing a universal sentiment of collective strength and support.
