Amid LA's Roaring Fires, Omotola Jalade Sets the Record Straight on Nigeria Return
  • Omotola Jalade, a veteran Nollywood actress, has thanked her fans for their love and support during the fires in Los Angeles.

  • But even though she and her family are doing well, the actress said that her heart still belongs in Los Angeles.

Omotola wrote:

"Public Statement. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to take a moment to address the incredible outpouring of concern and support I’ve received over the past few days regarding the fires in Los Angeles. First and foremost, I want to thank each and every one of you who have reached out with kind words, prayers, and love. Your thoughtfulness means the world to me." "To clarify and set the record straight: My family and I are safe. However, reports suggest I had to leave the United States because of the fires. This is inaccurate. I have been in Nigeria since December 2024 and am still here presently. While I deeply cherish my connection to Los Angeles, these fires were not the reason for my travel."

"I kindly urge media outlets and individuals to correct this misinformation. That said, my heart remains in Los Angeles during this difficult time. It is not just a city to me—it’s a home, a community, and a place where countless dreams continue to Fly. As the fires continue to threaten lives and homes, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted, from first responders working tirelessly to those who have faced unimaginable loss." 

There are currently two large flames burning around the Los Angeles area, and at least 24 verified deaths have been caused by the wildfires.

While the Palisades Fire has caused 8 fatalities, burned 1,280 houses, and damaged 204, the Eaton Fire has killed 15, destroyed 2,722 structures, and damaged 329.

"The comment section still shows that people do not read to understand. Y’all should read her caption please. Afi escape is her second name?."

@ugochiiwuaba: 

"Thank you for setting them straight because for a moment I was thinking, ‘what in the clout-chasing trendiness is this?!’. Then I read your post and I was happy you didn’t say any of this rubbish! You pass that one! We here in California are deeply saddened by what happened in LA so it would have been in poor taste to chase clout with such a tragedy." 

@omanise17:

"The copy and paste journalism we have now is quite worrisome."

@therealafrocandy:

"Naija press and bloggers always with their misinformation that’s why I stay out of the news these days. Why can they try to verify before spreading fake news? Anyways we thank God for protecting you and your family! California will Rise again ????."
