Jamie Lee Curtis got emotional as she discussed the L.A. fires during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, and this morning pledged $1 million to start a fund to help her devastated hometown.

In an Instagram post today, Curtis write, “As the fire still rages on and @calfire @losangelesfiredepartment and all the available first responders and agencies involved in fighting fire and saving lives are still hard at work and neighbors and friends are banding together to save each other, my husband and I and our children have pledged $1 million from our Family Foundation to start a fund of support for our great city and state and the great people who live and love there.

I’m in communication with Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass and Senator Schiff as to where those funds need to be directed for the most impact.” Curtis is married to actor and director Christopher Guest, and they have two daughters.

On Wednesday’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Curtis got emotional as the audience greeted her with great enthusiasm.
