Cyrus said she was devastated by the fires affecting her area, but is one of the lucky ones. Her animals and the “love of her life” made it out safely. She stated, “My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong. I am grateful for all I have left.” The 25-year-old then thanked first-time responders.”

Neil Young also took to Twitter to reveal he left his home to the wildfire. On his personal website, he criticized President Donald Trump’s tweet attribution to the fires to “bad forest management.” Neil stated California is vulnerable not because of poor forest management, rather because of Climate Change.
