Los Angeles, the heart of the nation’s film and television industry, is grappling with a devastating wildfire crisis that began on Tuesday. The fires have rapidly spread, destroying hundreds of homes, displacing thousands, and tragically claiming several lives.
LSU Tigers guard and rising college basketball star Flau’Jae Johnson took to Twitter to voice her concern for the city. In a heartfelt post, she shared her support for those affected, writing, “Praying for LA rn this is so scary! 🙏”
However, the wildfires have burned over 17,000 acres of land, forcing approximately 130,000 people to evacuate their homes. The disaster has also disrupted local sports, with several university programs postponing their games due to safety concerns.
As the city of Los Angeles battles this calamity, Johnson’s empathetic message has resonated with fans and athletes alike. Beyond her heartfelt outreach, the LSU Tigers guard continues to shine on the court, demonstrating the same passion and determination that has made her a standout star this season.
