The Marvel star also helped those who have been affected due to the fire. He claimed, “If you or someone you know needs help, I’ll share some resources in the following slides. God bless.”
The fire broke out on Tuesday and the rapid spread of the flames is believed to be due to dry vegetation conditions and strong winds. Rescue operations were launched by the fire department immediately after the flames entered the houses and burnt them to ashes.
By Thursday, the fire department revealed that there had been 10 deaths related to the fire, while more than 30,000 people were asked to relocate.
