Mandy Moore has criticised Amazon for delivering a package to her mother’s home, despite the residence having been destroyed in the LA wildfires.
The devastating fires spread through Southern California throughout January, causing the deaths of 29 people, injuring at least 22 others and destroying over 16,000 structures in the Greater Los Angeles area.
On Thursday (February 13), the This Is Us actor posted an image on Instagram of an Amazon parcel sitting among the rubble, with a caption reading: “Do better, Amazon. Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists? This is my mother and father in law’s home. Smh.”

Moore has previously shared the impact the fires have had on her family, revealing that not only was her own home damaged by the fires, her brother-in-law Griff and sister-in-law Kit “lost everything” just weeks before the birth of their first child. She also shared a fundraising campaign set up by a mutual friend to support her relatives.
The entertainment world has rallied to provide support for those affected by the fires, with two huge FireAid benefit concerts being held at the end of January. Highlights from the shows included Joni Mitchell giving a rare public performance, Billie Eilish and Green Day teaming up for a live rendition of ‘Last Night On Earth’, Lady Gaga debuting a new song inspired by the fires, and No Doubt reuniting to play some of their hits.
A big talking point from the show was also when the surviving members of Nirvana made a surprise appearance, joined by St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett and Dave Grohl’s daughter Violet on vocals.
A benefit compilation album, ‘Los Angeles Rising’, has also been announced, which will feature artists including Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Devo, Gary Numan and Primal Scream. All proceeds will go to Sweet Relief – a musicians’ fund that helps provide financial assistance to musicians and music industry workers. You can purchase the album exclusively from Bandcamp.
Elsewhere, a study recently shared by World Weather Attribution, claimed that the LA wildfires were made “more likely” by human-caused climate change. The study said that the hot, dry and windy conditions that drove fires in the Californian city were “35 per cent more likely due to warming caused primarily by the burning of oil, gas and coal.”
