Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has spoken out to reassure her fans and followers about her safety following reports of ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.
The actress, who is widely recognized for her contributions to Nollywood, addressed the rumors and expressed gratitude for the concern shown by her supporters.
In a heartfelt statement, Omotola thanked her fans for their love and prayers during the crisis.
“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,” she said.
The actress also clarified misinformation circulating about her whereabouts. Contrary to reports suggesting she had to leave the United States due to the fires, Omotola explained that she has been in Nigeria since December 2024. “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,” she explained.
Omotola, who considers Los Angeles a second home, expressed her deep connection to the city. “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,” she shared.
