An actor who was in Blues Brothers has died at the age of 95 after getting caught in the terrible fires in Los Angeles, her family revealed.
Wildfires in Los Angeles caused almost 200,000 people to leave their homes because they were in danger. Eleven thousand homes have been destroyed.
24 people have died in one of the worst wildfires in US history.
The body of Blues Brothers extra Dalyce Curry was found just before 6 p.m. local time on Sunday, January 12. The doctor confirmed this.
The actor’s granddaughter, Dalyce Kelley, shared the sad news on Facebook by saying that her “beloved grandmother” had died
“We had a great run. She impacted my life in so many ways. This loss is devastating,” she wrote on a social media site.
News from KABC Kelley saw her family member for the last time around midnight on Tuesday, January 7—right around the time that the fires started to cause damage in southern California.
Curry’s home in Altadena was destroyed by the Eaton Fire. Kelley visited the ruins on Friday (January 10), but her grandmother was not there.
“I’m sorry your grandmother’s property is gone. It totally burned down,” an officer told her, according to KABC. Kelly went to the property right away after getting a text message that her grandmother’s house had lost power.
When Kelley got there, she saw “total devastation.” She also said, “Everything was gone except her blue Cadillac.”
Also on Facebook, the actor’s other granddaughter, Lorée Beamer-Wilkinson, shared the sad news that a family member had died.
“With a heavy heart, I share that our search for Momma D has come to an end, as her remains were found in her home,” she wrote. “We are devastated, and it’s difficult to comprehend how her life came to this end.
“I feel so grateful for the love and opportunity to have known her, even if only for a short time. Momma D was an extraordinary woman who welcomed me and my children into her life with open arms.
“She radiated positivity, showed grace, and lived as a shining example of strength, resilience, and kindness. Her story is one of breaking barriers, overcoming challenges, and spreading love wherever she went.”
She continued: “I miss her deeply and am working through the waves of regret—wishing I had called her more, shared more moments. But I know the best way to honor her is to keep her memory alive and cherish the beautiful moments we shared.”
