Mandy Moore responded to backlash after asking for donations to support her family affected by the LA wildfires. The actor and singer, with an estimated net worth of $14 million, faced criticism for her appeal, as many questioned why she wasn’t covering the costs herself. One follower commented, “The audacity of a multimillionaire asking everyday people to donate,” while another wrote, “You have an obscene amount of money… you could help your own family.”

Moore’s home, which she shares with husband Taylor Goldsmith, was deemed “unliveable” after being partially destroyed by the fires. She revealed, “Everyone we know lost everything,” including homes on her street. In response to the criticism, Moore edited her post, writing, “We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything.”

Some defended Moore, criticizing the lack of empathy in the comments. One supporter wrote, “What is with the lack of compassion? Everyone in these areas lost everything… let’s lift each other up. Celebrity or not, she’s just a person asking for help for her family.” The Californian wildfires have devastated thousands of homes and claimed at least 10 lives, with fears of more damage due to high winds.
