Melanie Griffith begs for prayers as her mother is evacuated from big cat sanctuary in path of ferocious LA wildfire that has gutted homes, destroyed 22,000 acres of land AND the set for Wipeout
Melanie Griffith asked for prayers after her mother was evacuated from a wildlife sanctuary because of raging wildfires in Los Angeles.
The actress wrote on Twitter: ‘Please say a prayer for all residents in the path of the #SandFire . My Moms place Shambala is being evacuated.’
Griffith’s 86-year-old mother, Tippi Hedren, opened the preserve in 1983 following on from her film Roar.
There are over 40 big cats – including lions, tigers, cougars, black and spotted leopards, servals, bobcats, and an Asian leopard cat – who are cared for at the ranch.
On Sunday evening, Griffith, 58, confirmed that her mom was safe and the beloved cats had been saved. She wrote: ‘Mom is safe! Shambala is safe. Now sending love and thanks to all the firefighters who saved her and the cats.’
They accept donations for The Roar Foundation, the organization that runs the center.
Sable Ranch – a filming set used in the A-Team, 24 and Supernatural and the site for the Wipeout set – has also been destroyed.
The blaze has grown ferocious new power two days after it broke out, sending so much smoke in the air that planes making drops on it had to be grounded.
Officials said it has run through the area ‘like a freight train’.
The latest figures released by the authorities say the blaze is at 20 percent containment and a total of 18 family homes have been gutted in the areas of Sand Canyon, Bear Divide and Little Tujunga.
On Saturday, authorities said the Sand Fire was at 20 per cent containment, but the U.S. Forest Service corrected that figure and said the fire remains at 10 per cent containment. Above firefighters battled the Sand Fire on Sunday
About 300 miles up the coast, crews were battling another blaze spanning 10,000 acres (16 square miles) north of the majestic Big Sur region.
Authorities say almost 1,700 firefighters who are being hindered by scorching temperatures of up to 112 degrees are battling the blaze in the mountains north of Los Angeles known as the Sand Fire.
On Sunday crews faced another day of hot weather, low humidity and high winds that could once again fan the fires’ explosive growth. Shifting winds sent smoke away from greater Los Angeles and into desert communities, where residents were warned about poor air quality.
Late Saturday evening, a man’s body was found outside a home on Iron Canyon Road in Santa Clarita. Detectives are working to determine whether he was killed by the blaze or another cause, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Rob Hahnlein said.
Bill Belichick Started Dating 24-Year-Old Cheerleader Jordon Hudson Over a Year Ago
It has been claimed for more than a year that former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who has witnessed more football seasons than most of us have seen on tax returns, has been dating 24-year-old cheerleader Jordon Hudson. Indeed, if you quickly calculated, Belichick is 72 years old. Surely, age is just a number?
PEOPLE has revealed that Belichick and Hudson have been dating for a while, which supports our suspicions. During numerous public appearances, Hudson—a former cheerleader at Bridgewater State University—has drawn attention in addition to the former NFL coach.
The gossip site TMZ originally revealed this tasty detail, in case you were under the impression that it was simply a rumor. As we all know, TMZ never exaggerates. Belichick’s former players, Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady, were aware of the age gap and brought out the marshmallow roast during Netflix’s live special, The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.
“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked,” Gronkowski said, unable to contain his annoyance. However, I now see why you were so fascinated with Foxborough High School: you were scoping out potential girlfriend material. Gronk, ouch! That one is intelligent.
Not one to pass on the opportunity to poke fun at his former coach, Brady continued, “I used to say ‘the next one,’ when someone asked which ring was my favorite.” “That Ring camera that captured Coach Belichick sneaking out of that poor girl’s house at six in the morning a few months ago is my favorite now that I’m retired.” Brady was a savage. Absolute barbarism.
Let’s go back a little, though. Linda Holliday, Belichick’s 16-year girlfriend, came before Hudson. A PEOPLE source claims that their long-term relationship ended in September 2023. You ask, what went wrong? According to the sources, these were long-simmering difficulties rather than anything brand-new.
Holliday held the position of president of Belichick’s Bill Belichick Foundation and has been associated with him since 2007. The insider claimed, “They have issues to resolve that stem from a long relationship as well as her role in his professional life.” The juggling act between coaching responsibilities and personal life is unimaginable.
