Speaking to reporters before Thursday's game against the Pistons in Detroit, Kerr, who grew up in Pacific Palisades, said the damage from the Palisades Fire that began Tuesday was "surreal and devastating."
"That's my hometown and all my friends who are from they, pretty much they have lost all their homes, family homes, childhood homes...the town looks like it's completely wiped out," he said in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

"My dad taught at UCLA and so that drive from Pacific Palisades down Sunset Blvd. to campus of UCLA is one I've made a million times. So many great memories and then to the images of Sunset Blvd and the Palisades...just shocking, apocalyptic," he said.
As of Friday, the fire has burned more than 20,400 acres and destroyed at least 10,000 structures, which Cal Fire officials believe the number is much greater. The fire, which is only 6% contained, has already been added to the list of the 20 most destructive fires in state history.
