The fires destroyed businesses, schools and homes, forcing thousands to evacuate the area and leaving at least 25 people dead.

Several celebrities have been affected by the fires, including Adam Brodywho earned a nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for Netflix Nobody wants that. The series earned a total of four nominations, including Best Comedy Series and Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Kristen Bell.
