Popular Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has refuted reports claiming that her safety is compromised due to the ongoing fires in Los Angeles, assuring her fans and followers that she and her family are safe.
TheNewsGuru reports that reports had made rounds online that the actress and her family had fled the states and evacuated her home in 20 minutes, after escaping the devastating Los Angeles wildfire
Most publications, not TNG, reported the news stating that the veteran returned to Nigeria following the tragic ordeal that befell her while in the US.
However, in a public statement issued on Tuesday via her Instagram, Omotola thanked her fans for the outpouring love and thoughtfulness recieved since the reports regarding LA fires.
The actress also took the opportunity to clear up misinformation that had circulated about her whereabouts, stressing that the fire were not the reasons for her travel.
The statement reads: “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, I’ve seen reports suggesting 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.
“This moment is a reminder of how interconnected we all are, regardless of where we stand in the world. It is a call to unity, resilience, and empathy. I invite you all, regardless of where you may be, to join me in praying for Los Angeles and in supporting organizations on the ground making a difference.
“Thank you again for your love, your care, and your understanding. Together, we stand stronger. Together, we will rebuild.
God bless you all.”
