“My heart goes out to everyone who has lost homes and businesses, and to all whose lives have been impacted, including thousands of Disney employees,” Iger stated.
The Palisades Fire, now considered the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history, has scorched over 17,000 acres and destroyed an estimated 1,000 structures, many of them homes. Over 800 firefighters are battling the blaze, struggling to contain its spread. Evacuation orders remain in place for wide areas of the Pacific Palisades, including parts of Santa Monica, Malibu, and Topanga.
The fires have also impacted operations at Universal Studios Hollywood and CityWalk, which were closed yesterday and remain closed today. As of this writing, Disneyland Resort is operating as normal, but the situation is being closely monitored.
Iger’s message of sympathy and support underscores the widespread impact of these devastating wildfires. The Disney community stands in solidarity with all those affected, including its employees and the broader Southern California community.
