Preity Zinta, who frequently travels between India and the US since her marriage to Los Angeles-based Gene Goodenough, took to social media to reassure her fans amidst the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. The actress confirmed that she and her family are safe, despite the chaos unfolding around them.
Preity Zinta’s Message On Social Media
In her post on X (formerly Twitter), Preity shared the anxiety and devastation caused by the wildfires. She expressed her feelings of disbelief and fear, stating:
“I never thought I would live to see a day where fires would ravage neighbourhoods around us in LA, friends & families either evacuated or put on high alert, ash descending from smoggy skies like snow & fear & uncertainty about what will happen if the wind does not calm down with toddlers and grandparents with us. I’m heartbroken at the devastation around us & grateful to God (folded hands emoji) that we are safe as of now,” Preity wrote on Saturday.
She further added:
“My thoughts & prayers to people that are displaced & have lost everything in these fires. Hope the wind dies down soon & the fires are contained. A big thank you (folded hands emoji) to the fire department, fire fighters & everyone else helping to save lives & property. Stay safe everyone (red heart emoji),”
Other Indian Celebrities Also Affected By LA Wildfires
Preity is not the only Indian celebrity caught up in the chaos. Priyanka Chopra, currently at her LA mansion with husband Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie, shared an image of the fire on the hills near her home. She wrote:
“My thoughts are with everyone. I hope we are all able to be safe tonight,” on her Instagram Stories, thanking the fire safety department and rescue workers for their efforts.
Nora Fatehi, who was also in LA, shared her own experience of the emergency. She posted a video, saying:
“I’ve never seen anything like this. This is insane. We just got an evacuation order like five minutes ago. So, I quickly packed all my stuff and I’m evacuating out of here, out of this area. I’m going to go near the airport and stay there, because I have a flight today and I really hope I can catch it. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled because this s**t is scary. I have never experienced this before.”
