“I did lose a friend who did not get out in time,” the 52-year-old actress said. “It’s just — my heart bleeds for my friends. I mean, I can think of 100 families, and there are 5,000 homes lost.”

She reflected on her safety during the time of devastation. “I feel almost guilty walking through my house,” she admitted. “Just, you know, what can I do? How can I help? What can I offer? What do I have to offer with these hands and these walls and the safety that I have?”

The Pearl Harbor star added: “I’m looking at the chimney of somebody that I loved. […] It’s awful — kind of unimaginable.”

Jennifer Garner, who was affected by the loss of a friend in the California wildfires, explained that she took advantage of being a celebrity to pair with the Chef and contribute to the people who lost everything in the catastrophe that affected Los Angeles.

Further, Garner emphasized the importance of supporting parents and children during these difficult times by providing them with shelters. She also praised Chef Andrés for his swift and effective relief efforts. “It is an incredible thing to watch somebody — to watch World Central Kitchen and Chef José just come in and say, ‘We’ve got this handled. Don’t worry. We’ve got you,'” she explained.

Unfortunately, the number of people who lost their lives in the LA wildfires is 24, as of January 12.

Among those who died is child actor Rory Sykes. His mother, Shelley, posted on her social media that her son passed away after the cottage where he lived was destroyed by the fires completely.
