Actress Patricia Heaton says we can't rely on government after LA fires destroy city
‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ star Patricia Heaton says Los Angeles has learned a 'harsh' lesson after fires destroyed thousands of homes and businesses.
Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee criticized artists who are engaging in self-promotion during the California fires.
Lee, 62, took to social media earlier this week to slam celebrities who are promoting albums and tours as Los Angeles has been severely damaged by the fires.
"Makes me f---ing sick to see most people just [carrying] on posting on lame ass social media!" Lee wrote on Instagram.

"Guys right now nobody gives a flying f--- when your record drops or the next concert is when so many people are in the middle of one of the biggest disasters of all time!"
He concluded his post with, "I get that some comic relief is always [needed], but Jesus Christ leave it all alone and maybe just stop and see who needs help if you can."

"I really want other CA voters to see the lack of sincerity, the dismissiveness, the dedication to pretentiousness, and the dereliction of care for the citizens of California," Bateman wrote on X.
"He has always demonstrated this. In every video. You cannot trust this kind of person with any role, and especially not one upon which our wellbeing depends," she added. "Gavin Newsom needs to be removed, before something worse happens here."
