- Kim Kardashian and water waste
- Search for private fire department
- Mandy Moore faces criticism
Los Angeles, the City of Angels, is at the center of a devastating wildfire crisis. The flames have destroyed thousands of buildings and caused billions of dollars in damage. But beyond the physical destruction, the disaster has sparked a moral debate about the city's deep social inequalities. While some residents are fighting to save their homes, celebrities are facing criticism for their wasteful use of resources.
Kim Kardashian and water waste
Reality star Kim Kardashian has come under intense scrutiny. According to 'The Daily Mail,' she is reported to have used around 900,000 liters of water for private purposes, despite Los Angeles' strict water conservation measures. This has angered many, especially as the fire department grapples with severe water shortages. The 'Los Angeles Times' reported that firefighters have faced hydrants running dry, making their efforts to contain the fires much more difficult. Other celebrities, including Kevin Hart and Sylvester Stallone, have also been fined for excessive water use.

The search for private firefighters
Another controversial issue is the hunt for private firefighting services by wealthy Los Angeles residents. 'CNN' reported that a real estate manager was seeking private firefighters through social media, even offering to "pay any amount." This prompted strong reactions online, with one TikTok user commenting, "Whose house gets saved shouldn’t depend on their bank account."
Criticism of Mandy Moore
Actress and singer Mandy Moore is also facing backlash. Amid the devastation in Altadena, Moore posted pictures of her largely intact property on Instagram, while promoting a donation page for her brother-in-law, which many felt was hypocritical. One user commented, "The events are devastating, but natural disasters happen all the time—and they usually affect people who don’t have millions in the bank."
The ongoing fire disaster in Los Angeles has exposed the glaring contrasts between wealth and poverty in the city, raising serious questions about the responsible use of resources—especially during times of crisis.
