Soap legend Patsy Palmer has expressed her heartbreak as devastating wildfires ravage her 'hometown' of Los Angeles, affecting a number of household names. The 52 year old Bianca Jackson actress, who relocated to Malibu in 2014 with husband Richard and their children, frequently returns to the UK for EastEnders filming. In a post on Thursday, alongside a picture of the fires, she revealed that her 'brain was fried' and many of her friends in the area had lost their homes.
Patsy had returned to the UK last Saturday before the fires broke out and admitted it was difficult being so far away. She wrote on Instagram: "My heart is broken. My brain is fried today looking at the devastating scenes of the fires AGAIN in my hometown. I just returned home to my home in case after the fires a couple of weeks ago and left on Saturday back to work in the UK and now this.
"My family are safe but lots of my friends have lost their homes again which is extremely traumatic. Being here so far away is really really hard. I'm praying and crying as I write this. I'm helpless here but praying hard Please reach out if you need anything. Richard and kids are there safe and evacuated. This is huge. Really wasn't expecting this. Heartbroken. Stay safe.".
Patsy isn't the only Brit impacted by the horrific scenes. Film and TV star Richard Armitage called the Los Angeles wildfires "apocalyptic" after fellow actors lost their homes in the raging blazes that have caused a state of emergency in the US city. TV personality and singer Paris Hilton, When Harry Met Sally star Billy Crystal, The Princess Bride actor Cary Elwes, talk show host Ricki Lake and Oscar-winning songwriter Diane Warren are among those who have confirmed that their residences have been destroyed in the fires.
