The city of Los Angeles, California has descended into chaos as a series of wildfires are raging there. This has impacted countless celebrities, with many of them already losing their homes to the fires.
The Pacific Palisades region of Los Angeles has sadly been one of the areas that has been hit hardest by the wildfires. The Hollywood star Candace Cameron Bure, who lived in the Pacific Palisades for over three decades, is now speaking out to reveal her biggest fear about these wildfires.
‘It Changes Everything’
Cameron Bure, 48, told Fox News that she is “beyond words” to describe the effect the wildfires will have on local families and small businesses.
“It changes everything,” the former Full House star lamented. “And because the destruction is so massive, I can’t imagine how long a rebuild is going to take. And who knows that small businesses will ever be able to recover or rebuild, depending on what their insurance claims are and all that kind of stuff.”
“So many fire insurance [companies] completely dropped out of these areas that are in the canyons,” Cameron Bure continued. “I know when we lived there, we couldn’t get fire insurance. And, so, when you think about these things, it’s really overwhelming what people are going to be going through.”
Cameron Bure went on to explain that the Pacific Palisades is a tight-knit community of homes and mostly small businesses. While rebuilding will be tough, the actress is confident that those who live there will come together to bounce back from this tragedy.
“It’s a really special pocket of Los Angeles where life and family and community is important,” Cameron Bure explained. “And, so, I know in that sense that this community will rally around each other. Malibu will rally. We’ve done it in the past. We’re going to do it again.”

Cameron Bure Finds Wildfires ‘Heartbreaking’ To Watch
That being said, Cameron Bure admitted that it has been “heartbreaking” to see the Pacific Palisades burn.
“I’m staring at my window right now just watching the mountain burn,” she revealed. “It’s devastating. And it’s so emotionally overwhelming. We lived in the Palisades for 30 years. We just sold our home last year. But all of our friends in our community are still very much there.”
“It’s where we raised our kids,” Cameron Bure added. “And they went to school, and we went to church and had frozen yogurt and did our grocery shopping. And to see it completely leveled is — it’s heartbreaking and it’s devastating, and it’s sad. We just have so many friends and family, and it’s just countless people that we personally know that have lost their homes.”
Cameron Bure then revealed the “hardest part” about all of this.
“I think that the hardest part right now is that we’re still watching it burn,” she confessed. “The winds aren’t getting better. They’re not supposed to really decrease until tomorrow at 6. So, it’s like you’re actively trying to, you know, want to do something, and yet there is not much you can do until it settles down. And it feels like it’s going to be forever.”
“We personally have friends that [were] still waiting to see if their house is still up and then confirmed that they’ve lost everything. So it’s, yeah, it’s pretty hard,” Cameron Bure concluded. “It’s like you want to help, and there’s just not much you can do at this point.”
