She said: “As you know, where I live is on fire right now. Literally, the entire city of the Pacific Palisades is burning. I flew here last night, I was on a plane and I was getting texts… it’s fucking gnarly you guys. It’s just a catastrophe. Obviously there have been horrific fires in many places – this is literally where I live. Everything, the market I shop in, the schools my kids go to, the many, many, many friends now how have lost their homes.”
RecommendedShe continued, urging viewers to help and stay ready: “If you know anybody on the West Coast or not, the American Red Cross – support them, they will come in and help people. Do anything you can, anything in your community to help people. Whether you need it or not now, you will need it. And remember, for anyone living anywhere, have an emergency kit ready in your house. Have an emergency kit with prescription glasses, medicine, dog food, baby formula, all the things you need if you have to flee.”
Elsewhere on the show, in an effort to lift spirits, Curtis and Jimmy Fallon aired a skit that would see her recreate the iconic aerobics jazzercise dance scene from the 1985 film Perfect.
