14 Jan - Despite having a home in Los Angeles, which has continuously been ravaged by the wildfires since 7 January, Preity Zinta recently assured that she is fine.

The actress recently took to X to share her thoughts about the tragic events, writing, "I never thought I would live to see a day where fires would ravage neighbourhoods around us in LA, friends & families either evacuated or put on high alert, ash descending from smoggy skies like snow & fear & uncertainty about what will happen if the wind does not calm down with toddlers and grandparents with us."

"I'm heartbroken at the devastation around us & grateful to god that we are safe as of now. My thoughts & prayers to people that are displaced & have lost everything in these fires. Hope the wind dies down soon & the fires are contained," she added.

Preity and her husband have been married and living in LA since 2016

Preity also expressed her gratitude to the firefighters and everyone else who have been helping to save lives and property.

It is noted that the actress has been shuttling between India and the US since her marriage to LA-based financial analyst, Gene Goodenough, with whom she has a pair of twins. The couple have been together since 2016.
