Mandy Moore Defends Sharing GoFundMe for In-Laws After LA Wildfires

The actress responded to criticism over fundraising for her family, who lost their home in the devastating Eaton Fire, while addressing her own losses in the blaze.

  • Mandy Moore shared a GoFundMe for her brother- and sister-in-law, whose home was destroyed in the Eaton Fire, as they prepare to welcome their first child in weeks.
  • Critics questioned why Moore, a wealthy celebrity, sought donations instead of covering the costs herself, prompting her to defend the decision on Instagram.
  • Moore explained that the fundraiser was started by a friend and shared at the request of those wanting to help, while emphasizing that her family is also contributing financially.
  • The actress revealed her own home was damaged in the fire, losing a garage, studio, and equipment, though the main structure remains standing but unlivable.
  • The Los Angeles wildfires have burned over 35,000 acres, claimed at least 10 lives, and led to widespread evacuations, with investigations into the cause ongoing.
