‘Karma’ Strikes California: James Woods Faces Online Backlash As X Users Link Gaza to LA Wildfires

James Woods, a Hollywood legend, lost his Pacific Palisades home to LA’s devastating wildfires. Instead of sympathy, social media users slammed him for his controversial comments on Gaza, calling it "divine justice." With over 10,000 homes destroyed and 144,000 evacuated, these wildfires mark LA’s worst disaster. Celebrities like Mel Gibson and Paris Hilton also lost homes.

It's difficult to get fire insurance in California and State Farm just canceled fire insurance from people's policies. Also, people are losing items that are irreplaceable. This is beside the point, but it's not just rich people and celebrities people losing their homes 🙄
