Los Angeles Wildfires 2025

01/10 10:34 AM -- Rams president Kevin Demoff says the team will provide at least 15 buses to transport 750 season-ticket holders to State Farm Stadium for the game on Monday.

It's about a six-hour drive from SoFi Stadium to the new location ... but considering it's a big-time playoff matchup, we take it those spots will fill up rather quickly.

The NFL has seen enough devastation from the wildfires in Los Angeles ... the league has decided to move Monday's scheduled playoff game between the Rams and Vikings to Arizona.

"In the interest of public safety, Monday’s Vikings-Rams Wild Card game has been moved from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA to State Farm Stadium, the home of the Arizona Cardinals," the National Football League announced Thursday afternoon, four days before the game was set to kickoff at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA.

The stadium is less than 10 miles from the site of the Pacific Palisades fire ... which has wreaked havoc over nearly 20k acres.

The NFL community is joining forces to support victims of the Los Angeles wildfires ... donating a combined $5 million to the relief fund.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the donation on Friday ... revealing the league and the Rams, Chargers, Vikings and Texans organizations stepped up to provide aid to L.A. County, where historic blazes have destroyed thousands of properties.

"We are heartbroken over the devastating losses experienced by so many in the Los Angeles area and inspired by the heroism of first responders and residents who have supported their neighbors," Goodell said.

Whitney Cummings will defend L.A. at all costs ... readying for war "Game of Thrones"-style -- with a wooden sword in hand, ready to do battle.

The actress and stand-up comic shared multiple clips to her Instagram Story detailing her eventful evening Thursday night ... beginning when she says a friend told her people in her neighborhood caught a guy trying to set fires on a back hill -- saying she thinks they caught the guy in Woodland Hills.

Cummings seems to be referring to a viral incident that's circulating on social media ... featuring residents holding down a man with a blowtorch before calling the police -- though it's unclear if this individual actually did anything Whitney's claiming.

Mel Gibson's Malibu home is literally a pile of ashes, and yet he's got an incredibly lighthearted, positive attitude about it ... joking he's "never seen a place so perfectly burnt."

Mel's 6,500 square foot residence was torched in the Pacific Palisades Fire that was fueled by 100 MPH wind gusts ... all while Mel was out of town. The actor/director was on News Nation Thursday night talking about the disaster that struck while he was doing Joe Rogan's podcast.

He says he was "ill at ease because I knew my neighborhood was on fire" while he was talking to Rogan. He says the Santa Ana winds were just starting to kick up on Tuesday when he took off for Texas -- but you gotta see him described the devastation.

Jennie Garth's feeling a deep sadness this week after fleeing the L.A. wildfires ... but, she thankful she's got people to fall back on -- including her ex-husband.

The "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum took to Instagram to give her fans an update on her family's safety after evacuating not once, but twice earlier this week ... forced out of their home by the massive Pacific Palisades wildfire on L.A.'s west side.

Garth says she and her family are fine ... but, her heart breaks for her city and everyone who lost their home in the fire.

Life has unfortunately imitated art for "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia who is speaking out after his Malibu home was destroyed in the deadly L.A. wildfires.

The actor, whose house ironically burned to the ground on the TV show, drove back to Malibu with a CBS Evening News reporter to look at the devastation firsthand after being evacuated Tuesday due to the Palisades Fire with his pregnant wife Jarah Mariano and their dog.

During the interview, Ventimiglia gets choked up seeing that his house is no longer standing and just charred rubble along with the homes of his neighbors.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis is stepping up to help a team staffer whose family lost everything in the wildfires ... by making a substantial financial contribution to kickstart the recovery process.

Longtime Lakers videographer Rohan Ali shared the tragic news this week ... saying his childhood home in Altadena, where his parents Gayle and Rasheed lived for more than three decades, was destroyed in the blaze -- and their valuables and keepsakes didn't survive.

Rohan launched a GoFundMe to help with food, housing, transportation and other costs as his family attempts to rebuild ... and on Thursday, AD did his part by donating $20,000 to the cause.

Spencer Pratt's digging through what's left of his and Heidi Montag's home ... searching through the ruins for anything that may have survived the devastating fire.

The reality television star returned to Pacific Palisades Thursday ... just days after his home burned in the Pacific Palisades Fire -- looking high and low around the property for crystals and other personal items.

Check out the pics ... Spencer's standing in the burned remains of the house, picking through blackened pots and grabbing a small silver object -- though it's not totally clear what he's holding.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is shattered over the L.A. fires that destroyed his childhood home ... saying it's "unfathomable" to think the place that held so many memories is gone.

Kerr met with the media ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons ... and addressed the earlier reports that his old home -- where his mother still resided -- did not survive the Pacific Palisades blaze.

Kerr said his mom, Ann, is safe ... and he's been in constant communication with his loved ones to make sure she continues to be OK.

2:50 PM PT -- Newsom's office tells TMZ ... "After hearing from Rachel, the Governor immediately spoke to President Biden and as a result of that call the President committed to covering 100% of the recovery costs for the next 180 days. That’s a game-changer."

The Governor's rep also says they spoke to Rachel in order "to connect her with recovery services, local support, and provide the latest information."

They add, "This was not a normal blaze. When this fire began, firefighters were battling flames fueled by 100mph hurricane-force winds against them."

According to Newsom's office, local officials say "three million gallons of water (enough water to cover 2 football fields in a foot of water) were stored in three large tanks for fire hydrants before the Palisades fire, but the supply was exhausted because of the extreme scale of the fire and extraordinary nature of this hurricane-force firestorm."

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom tried to use President Biden as a shield when a distraught wildfire victim confronted him Thursday -- but his efforts kinda blew up in his face.

The woman, a lawyer named Rachel Darvish, ran up to Newsom as he was getting into his car -- leaving a devastated Pacific Palisades -- and started hammering him with questions about everything that went wrong for firefighters ... and a Sky News camera crew captured the intense showdown.

Darvish demanded answers about why there was no water pressure in fire hydrants to help firefighters knock down the flames -- Newsom quickly responded by holding up his phone and telling her he was talking to President Biden at that very moment about getting aid to victims.
