Jennifer Lopez Has Cancelled Her Media Appearances To Focus On L.A. Wildfires
All week, Los Angeles has been battling multiple wildfires in different neighbourhoods, with devastating losses. According to sources speaking with People, Jennifer Lopez has changed her plans for the coming days, cancelling various planned media appearances on The Today Show, The View, Live with Kelly and Mark, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, so she can be available to support the city.
'It’s important to her to focus on supporting the community of Los Angeles during this very difficult time,' the insider said.

The Los Angeles premiere of her new movie Unstoppable was cancelled this week as well, due to the spreading fire and forceful winds. A rep for the movie’s distributor, Amazon MGM Studios, said in a statement, 'As much as we were looking forward to celebrating this wonderful and inspiring film with you, safety is our first priority. Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe.'
J.Lo lives in Los Angeles, as do her children, twins Max and Emme, though they all frequently spend time in New York and were recently in Aspen, Colorado, for the holidays. Los Angeles is also the home of Ben Affleck, Lopez’s former partner. The star was 'worried and concerned' after Affleck evacuated his home in the Pacific Palisades, according to Page Six, and she 'has been checking in on Ben throughout this whole ordeal' and to 'let him know she’s there for him and the kids.'
'She offered her support for whatever they need,' the insider explained.
Affleck is reportedly with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their three children, Seraphina, Violet, and Samuel. He has been able to return home since to check on the property, as the fires passed over the estate.
'Ben’s home is still under evacuation order, but he feels so grateful his property is safe for the time being,' a second source said. 'Ben knows many people who unfortunately lost their homes. He has seen a lot of devastation, and it’s beyond tragic… Ben is reaching out to anybody he can to help.'
Celebrities like Paris Hilton, Adam Brody, Miles Teller, Jamie Lee Curtis, Anthony Hopkins and more have lost their homes in the affluent area.
