Mandy Moore Criticized for Sharing GoFundMe After Family Loses Homes in Wildfires

The actress defends her actions as her family and others navigate devastating losses from the Los Angeles wildfires.

  • Mandy Moore's family, including her in-laws, lost homes and possessions in the Eaton Fire, which destroyed much of their Altadena neighborhood.
  • Moore's Altadena home was damaged but remains standing, though it is currently unlivable; her garage and back house were destroyed.
  • She shared a GoFundMe created by a friend to support her brother- and sister-in-law, who are expecting their first child and lost all belongings, including instruments used for work.
  • The GoFundMe exceeded its $60,000 goal, raising $200,000, but Moore faced backlash online for seeking donations despite her celebrity status and wealth.
  • Moore responded to critics, stating her family is providing financial support but shared the fundraiser for those who wanted to help, emphasizing the widespread impact of the wildfires on the community.
