Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade has spoken out about rumors suggesting she relocated to Nigeria because of the wildfires in Los Angeles.
In an Instagram post, she expressed her appreciation for her fans’ support and confirmed that she and her family are safe.
She also made it clear that her move to Nigeria is not connected to the wildfires.
She rejected the claims about her moving as false, asking news organizations to correct the errors and promote responsible journalism.
Omotola emphasized her close connection to Los Angeles, even though she is not there, calling it a community she loves. She shared her thoughts and prayers for those impacted by the fires, including first responders and families facing great loss.
The actress ended by thanking her fans and expressing hope for recovery and rebuilding in Los Angeles.
In her words:
“Public Statement
Ladies and gentlemen,
I want to take a moment to address the incredible outpouring of concern and support I’ve received over the past few days regarding the fires in Los Angeles. First and foremost, I want to thank each and every one of you who have reached out with kind words, prayers, and love. Your thoughtfulness means the world to me.
To clarify and set the record straight: My family and I are safe. However, I’ve seen reports suggesting I had to leave the United States because of the fires. This is inaccurate. I have been in Nigeria since December 2024 and am still here presently. While I deeply cherish my connection to Los Angeles, these fires were not the reason for my travel. I kindly urge media outlets and individuals to correct this misinformation.
That said, my heart remains in Los Angeles during this difficult time. It is not just a city to me—it’s a home, a community, and a place where countless dreams continue to Fly. As the fires continue to threaten lives and homes, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted, from first responders working tirelessly to those who have faced unimaginable loss.
This moment is a reminder of how interconnected we all are, regardless of where we stand in the world. It is a call to unity, resilience, and empathy. I invite you all, regardless of where you may be, to join me in praying for Los Angeles and in supporting organizations on the ground making a difference.
Thank you again for your love, your care, and your understanding. Together, we stand stronger. Together, we will rebuild.
God bless you all.
Omotola.”
