The fires in Palisades and Eaton are estimated to have destroyed thousands of homes, killing at least 25 people and forcing at least 150,000 residents to leave their homes. A few days ago, Tommy Lee took it out on musicians who continue to announce their projects despite the catastrophe: «No one gives a damn about your record in the middle of one of the biggest disasters of all time. I understand that a bit of comedy is always needed, but try to understand if you can give help to those who need it.”
