Actress Christina Applegate has expressed outrage at some public reactions to the California wildfires, particularly those seemingly celebrating the impact on Hollywood residents. In a recent episode of her "MeSsy" podcast with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Applegate condemned those suggesting it was "good" that Hollywood was suffering, calling such sentiments "real sick." She emphasized that Los Angeles is a diverse city with people from all walks of life, not just celebrities, and that many hardworking individuals have been affected.

Applegate highlighted that the perception of Los Angeles being solely populated by celebrities is inaccurate, stating that they represent a small portion of the city. She stressed the impact on individuals working in various sectors, from fast-food chains to construction, who are also grappling with the fire's consequences.

Sigler encouraged Applegate to disregard such negative commentary, but Applegate, while acknowledging she had tried to ignore it, found the sentiments "ridiculous." Sigler emphasized the shared characteristic of Angelenos as "dreamers" from all walks of life, working tirelessly to achieve their aspirations. She acknowledged the varying levels of impact, with some having the resources to rebuild while others face an uncertain future, urging empathy for everyone affected.
