Real estate agents intimately familiar with Southern California’s coastal and hillside homes posted heartfelt messages Wednesday, Jan. 8 on Instagram, expressing their support for those affected by wildfires ravaging the region.
Tracy Tutor, Tim Smith and Aaron Kirman were among those reacting to the now six fires, which burned more than 27,000 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties by midday.
“This morning I landed in my hometown of Los Angeles to absolute devastation,” Tutor, the “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star of Compass, shared in an Instagram post featuring a photo of a firefighter silhouetted against a burning house while carrying a hose. “For all my friends and clients who have been directly affected by the fires, I am here in whatever capacity you need. Just call. To the brave firefighters out there saving lives, animals and homes, please stay safe. My heart goes out to all of you. Please pray for Los Angeles everyone.”

A fierce Santa Ana windstorm, with hurricane-force gusts of up to 100 miles per hour, ignited and rapidly spread wildfires in many areas of Los Angeles and eastern Ventura counties. Firefighters are battling the Palisades fire, Eaton fire near Pasadena, Hurst fire in Sylmar, Woodley Fire near Sepulveda Basin, Olivas fire and Lidia fire in Acton.
The L.A. County fires have killed five people and destroyed more than 1,000 structures, according to the latest reports.
All of the fires are 0% contained.
“Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastation being caused by the wildfires currently ravaging Los Angeles,” Smith of Coldwell Banker Realty, posted on Instagram Story. “We are deeply saddened for the families who have lost their homes, their belongings, and more heartbreakingly, their loved ones.
