Loss and memories in the aftermath of Los Angeles fires. The passing of Dalyce Curry
Dalyce Curry, a 95-year-old actress, died in a fire in Los Angeles that destroyed thousands of buildings. The actress's remains were found at her estate in Altadena. She is yet another victim of the disaster that has been ravaging that part of California for several days.
Dalyce Curry was part of the African American community in Hollywood during the 1950s. She appeared as an extra in films such as "Blues Brothers" and "The Ten Commandments".
The last time she was seen alive was on 7th January, when she returned home after a hospital visit. Her granddaughter, Dalyce Kelley, who confirmed her grandmother's death via social media, couldn't stay with her, which tragically led to the situation. The search lasted several days.
With great sadness, it has been shared that the search for Mama D has concluded, as her remains were discovered in her home.
Dalyce Curry has died
As fires ravage Los Angeles, neighbourhoods like Pacific Palisades are on the brink of destruction. Strong Santa Ana winds are fanning the flames, complicating rescue efforts. Authorities are reminding people to adhere to evacuation recommendations and emphasising the need for neighbourhood solidarity. They also mention that this is neither the first nor the last time climate change will impact California residents' lives.
Stars lose their homes in Los Angeles fires
Los Angeles's fires have once again devastated the city, forcing thousands of people to evacuate and leaving behind a trail of destruction. Well-known actors such as Harrison Ford and James Woods were among those affected, and they had to leave their properties with the help of local services. The disaster has resulted in several deaths and the destruction of over 10,000 buildings, with total losses estimated in the billions of dollars.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become involved in relief efforts for the victims of the Los Angeles fires. They have visited devastated areas, offering support and collaborating with volunteer organisations. Their presence in Pasadena and Altadena was positively received by local residents.
