Mölling’s family is said to be safe for the time being. But the wind in the next few days is worrying her.
These are the strongest wildfires in decades. New dimensions even for the disaster-hardened Los Angeles region. The flames are not only raging in the “Hills”. Strong winds carried the wall of fire all the way down to the Pacific coast of Malibu. An area with a high density of A-list celebrities and correspondingly posh properties. US media are now documenting with horror the strokes of fate of numerous VIPs. Heiress Paris Hilton said on social media that she was “heartbroken” that her beach house “burned down live on television.” Now Sandy Mölling is also reporting with a status update about her home in Los Angeles. Apparently the No Angels member has reason to breathe a sigh of relief for now.
Safe for now, but afraid of wind
The singer recently reported on Instagram that the flames had also reached Bell Canyon – almost 15 kilometers from her property. So the 43-year-old, along with her partner, Canadian singer Nasri Atweh, and their two sons, Jayden and Noah, prepared to be evacuated at any time. “We’re still sitting here with packed suitcases,” said the artist. But now the new information on her Insta channel: “We’re fine. The fire was pushed back into the mountain, where there are no houses.”
The family is currently safe. “We seem to be safe here at the moment. Of course there are helicopters flying all the time and when it’s dark you can see the red glow – but it has actually decreased – a good sign.”
However, the next few days bring new concerns: “The trend for the next few days is not so good when it comes to the weather,” said Mölling in a video. And further: “It is supposed to be very windy and we know from the last few days that this was the biggest problem. That was the reason why the fire was able to spread like it did.”
Now the musician would hope: “I hope that the fire can now be brought under control as best as possible, that it no longer blows in a different direction and that it can really get going again. Otherwise it will all start all over again.”
Sandy Mölling via Instagram about the situation in Los Angeles:
Exhaustion after a week of fighting the fire
Like many other Los Angeles residents, Mölling seems exhausted by the constant fear and worry. In the video from Sunday, January 12th, the Wuppertal native said that she was able to sleep properly again for the first time the previous night.
But most of the time her thoughts are with those people who lost everything in the flames. “Now it’s time to gain strength so that we can get involved. “Look where something is needed, where hands are needed, where something can be done,” says Sandy Mölling. Ultimately she celebrated: “It’s nice to see how the communities come together and help each other.”
