After unprecedented production halts, fans took to Reddit to express their worry for the wellbeing of NCIS star and Brentwood resident Mark Harmon amid LA fires
With disastrous wildfire still blazing across Los Angeles, several shows have temporarily halted production, including Hacks, Abbott Elementary, Grey’s Anatomy, and NCIS.
Fans took to Reddit to express their worry for the wellbeing of NCIS star Mark Harmon amid the LA wildfires. Mark is best known for playing Leroy Jethro Gibbs as part of the original cast on the hit police procedural.
The actor’s $15 million home is located in the neighborhood of Brentwood, which has been evacuated as a result of the rapidly spreading Palisades fire. Harrison Ford, Jennifer Garne, and Vice President Kamala Harris also have homes in Brentwood.
FilmLA, which issues permits for filming in Los Angeles, released a statement on Wednesday: “The past two days have brought unprecedented risk to life and property from multiple area wildfires, while also placing extreme demands on public safety personnel. With deepest appreciation for the efforts of local firefighters, police and paramedics at this difficult time, we advise the production community that personnel resources ordinarily available to support film production may not be available during the local State of Emergency.”
The wildfires have caused unprecedented damage, with over 2,000 structures destroyed and over 130,000 Los Angeles residents evacuated from their neighborhoods.
Naturally, fans are worried from afar about their favorite celebs, given the severity of the fires and the sudden production halts that have been put in place as a result.
In the Reddit thread, one user asked: “It’s devastating what’s happening in California. I was curious if anyone knew if Mark was ok or not?” One fan responded: “I sure as hell hope not!” Another said: “I haven’t seen anything specific.”
One user responded: “I saw an IG video by someone else, and the house looked to be not fully engulfed, but flames were lapping at the exterior walls. It might have been their son’s house. I’m not sure”
The NCIS star, who was on the show from 2003 to 2021, does not have a social media presence, leaving fans to play the guessing game about his well being.
Several celebrities have lost their homes to the devastating fires, including Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Jhené Aiko, and Anna Faris, with dozens more forced to evacuate.
