Bass has faced backlash after cutting about $17.5 million from the fire department’s budget for this fiscal year, just months before the catastrophic infernos began Tuesday, according to ABC 7.
Other celebrities have also joined the reality star in criticizing the mayor of Los Angeles for his mishandling of deadly fires, including the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire.
Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar wrote on Instagram: “The city of Los Angeles wants everyone to evacuate, but they are completely gridlocked and not a single traffic cop on the roads is helping.”
Sara Foster also shared: ‘We pay the highest taxes in California. Our fire hydrants were empty.
‘Our vegetation was overgrown and the undergrowth had not been cleared. Our governor emptied our reservoirs because tribal leaders wanted to save the fish.’
He then called for Bass to resign, adding, “Our mayor cut our fire department’s budget.” But thank God the drug addicts are receiving their first aid kits. GIVE UP. His far-left policies have ruined our state. And so does our party.’
James Woods, whose home was saved from the Palisades fire, also criticized Bass on social media.

“Rest assured, when that is done, when we are safe, when lives have been saved, we will absolutely do an evaluation to look at what worked and what didn’t work, and to correct or hold any agency, department or individual accountable.” etc.’
Regarding her leadership, Karen responded: ‘I just said what I think is the most important thing we need to do right now. “That will continue to be my focus.”

The urgent evacuation order was issued for the upper Los Angeles and Ventura county border as the Kenneth Fire tore through West Hills on Thursday, burning everything in its path.
The death toll also rose to 11 amid all the fires, but the true number is likely higher as dogs trained to detect human remains gained access to the charred remains of properties in fire-ravaged neighborhoods.
Amid the frantic agitation to get locals out of their scorching homes in Calabasas, LAPD officials confirmed the ominous news that this spin-off fire was actually set by an alleged arsonist, who is now in police custody.
