Tennis legend Pam Shriver had her Grand Slam trophies stolen while she was fleeing the Palisades wildfires, revealing she no longer feels safe in Los Angeles amid the extreme weather and theft of her belongings.
Shriver, a 21-time Grand Slam doubles winner, was forced to evacuate to a hotel in Marina Del Rey after the Palisades fire started, and a car full of her awards was looted soon after.
“Right now in LA it’s hard to feel safe because of natural disasters, fires and crime,” she said FOX 11 Matthew Seedorff from Los Angeles.
“I spent the first 38 years (of my life) in Baltimore – I’ve been here almost 30 years since then. But I’m thinking about what my next community is where I’m going to feel safe.”
In a separate post to X, Seedorff said Shriver’s vehicle was a black Dodge Durango Hellcat.
At her peak, the Baltimore native was world number 1 in doubles and won seven Australian Opens, four French Opens, five Wimbledons and five US Opens.

Shriver won an impressive 21 Grand Slam doubles championships in her storied career

She also reached the 1978 US Open final in singles, and made eight other semifinals at majors while playing solo.
The fires have collectively burned more than 40,000 hectares of land and caused 27 fatalities, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Much of that destruction comes from the Palisades Fire, which remains only 52 percent contained as of Sunday evening.
Shriver is far from the only sports figure affected by the wildfires, as Olympic hero Gary Hall Jr. lost his house and most likely his ten Olympic medals.
LeBron James and his family were also forced to evacuate their home in Brentwood.
“Personally, I’ve been away,” James told reporters after his team defeated the Heat earlier this week.
“Personally, my family, we’ve been evacuated since Thursday night, so I’ve been in a hotel since we got back from Dallas. So just find out. But stay strong for each other. That is of course the most important thing.’
James’ Lakers head coach, JJ Redick, also lost his home in the Palisades fire.
And Warriors coach Steve Kerr also saw his parental home in ruins due to the fires.
