Actress Julia Roberts has spoken out against looters targeting evacuated areas during the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.
On Monday, the Pretty Woman star took to Instagram with a powerful message: “Go to hell, looters,” she wrote, expressing her frustration over reports of thefts targeting multi-million-dollar mansions left vulnerable as families fled for safety.
Highlighting Urgent Needs
In addition to condemning looters, Roberts emphasized the urgent need for support in the wake of the fires. She urged her followers to contribute to the Southern California Fire Relief Fund, which provides immediate and long-term aid to affected communities. The initiative is backed by organizations such as the CAA Foundation, CORE Response, and Entertainment Industry Foundation, among others.
A History of Advocacy
Roberts, who previously owned a home in Malibu, has been vocal about environmental and social issues. While her current residence remains undisclosed, her activism underscores her dedication to supporting her community during this crisis.

Law Enforcement Action
So far, 30 suspects have been arrested on charges of looting, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by communities affected by the wildfires.
