James Woods Blasts Troll Mocking Him For Losing His Home In Wildfire

After the actor confirmed that his home had gone up in smoke, the individual on X used the opportunity to bring up Woods’ past “climate change” criticism.

Not having any of it, James Woods blasted the netizen while criticizing California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

Woods is one of many people whose homes in the affluent Los Angeles area have been engulfed by flames, forcing them to evacuate.

The actor has shared several updates on social media, showcasing the immense damage while keeping his followers updated on his and his family’s well-being.

Although Woods initially hoped his home would survive the wildfire thanks to sprinkler systems and “bush burning” prevention measures, he later shared online that all the “fire alarms” in his home had gone off remotely, indicating that the flames had hit his house.

While several on X consoled the actor, one individual appeared to troll Woods by highlighting his stance on Climate Change, implying that this caused the wildfire.

The person wrote, “The irony of James Woods, known for his skepticism about climate change, losing his home to the very wildfires linked to climate change impacts in California, is striking.”

In a scathing response, Woods said, “This fire is not from ‘climate change,’ you ignorant a-shole. It’s because liberal idiots like you elect liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. One doesn’t understand the first thing about fire management, and the other can’t fill the water reservoirs. #INSTABLOCK.”

Woods shared a heartbreaking update with his followers on X, confirming that the wildfire had set off all the fire alarms in his home.

He said, “All the smoke detectors are going off in our house and transmitting to our iPhones. I couldn’t believe our lovely little home in the hills held on this long. It feels like losing a loved one.”

In a follow-up post, Woods added, “I took this last night from our beautiful little home in the Palisades. Now, all the fire alarms are going off at once remotely. It tests your soul, losing everything at once, I must say.”

He has also hinted that getting insurance support might be an issue, revealing in a tweet that “one of the major insurances [sic] companies canceled all the policies in our neighborhood about four months ago.”

Woods kicked off the updates on the Pacific Palisades wildfire by sharing that he and his family were “leaving” the area.

The actor later confirmed that they were safely away from the disaster zone while sharing terrifying photos of the blaze consuming the area.

“To all the wonderful people who’ve reached out to us, thank you for being so concerned. Just letting you know that we were able to evacuate successfully,” Woods said in a post on X.

He added at the time, “I do not know at this moment if our home is still standing, but sadly, houses on our little street are not.”

In another post, he thanked the “LA fire and police departments” for stepping up and taking charge of the shocking incident.

Woods received a flood of messages of support from fans after he confirmed that his home had been engulfed in flames.

One person wrote, “Praying for you. So so so sorry your home is affected… ugh.”

Another shared, “I’m so sorry. Devastating. Thank you for your posts honoring Fire and police. God bless you and everyone suffering in these horrific fires.”

A third netizen noted, “Our deepest sympathy, just happy to know you are safe.”

One more individual commented, “That’s horrible! So sorry, Mr. Woods! I hope all your loved ones and friends are safe.”

As reported by The Times, an evacuation order was issued to over 30,000 people in the affluent area of Los Angeles after the dangers became apparent.

Pacifist Palisades, which is heavy with celebrities and notable figures, is located along the coast and in the mountains north of Santa Monica.

Other stars who are known to have moved into the area in recent years include actors Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, Bradley Cooper, Matt Damon,  Adam Sandler, and Jennifer Aniston.

It’s unclear how many celebrity homes have been directly impacted by the flames. However, “Schitts Creek” star Eugene Levi and actor Steve Guttenberg have also been forced to leave their homes due to the fire.
