Mandy Moore, one of thousands who have lost their homes as catastrophic fires continue to rage across Los Angeles, is firing back at critics who have criticized her for posting a GoFundMe page for her in-laws I felt humiliated and my parents-in-law’s home was destroyed.

“Yesterday, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Griff and Kit, lost their home and everything they owned in the Eaton Fire,” Moore explained in the caption. “Their first child is due in a few weeks and they need our support now more than ever. Griff is a touring musician and has also lost all the drum/percussion instruments he used to make a living Library. So much for that. So many people asking how to help during this unimaginable and stressful time…please consider donating and sharing to help them rebuild.

She then responded to those who said she should donate her money to her in-laws, citing celebrity net worth statistics she found online. “It’s neither helpful nor empathetic for people to question whether we’re helping their own families or to blame us for an arbitrary amount of money that Google says someone has,” Moore added. “Of course it is.” Our friend Matt started this GoFundMe and I’m sharing it because people are asking how they can help. We also lost most of our lives in a fire. Please F close. No one forces you to do anything.
