I’ve cherished every moment I have had with it.”She continued, “As the fire draws closer, I pray for it — I pray for everyone in Los Angeles right now.

What an incredibly terrifying moment for my community. As the fire reaches our doorstep, please stay in contact with each other; Community in times like these is our lifeline.”Lee noted that the fire, which started Tuesday morning in the Pacific Palisades, about 15 miles from LA’s West Hollywood neighborhood, “is inching closer to my slice of heaven in Malibu.”“When I was waitress at the Malibu Adobe back in 1989, I dreamed of a home like this (FOR ME) and worked my butt off for it,” she said.
