Los Angeles fires halt Hollywood productions like "Abbott Elementary," "Hacks" and "Fallout"

Salon  

The entertainment industry has come to a grinding work stoppage, as the destructive Los Angeles-area wildfires plow through the city. Major studios like NBCUniversal, Warner Bros., Amazon, CBS and Disney suspended production of some of their most popular shows like "Hacks," "Fallout," "NCIS," "Grey's Anatomy," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" FilmLA, the agency that approves film and television shoots in Los Angeles, said in a statement that the L.A. fire department has "instructed that all permits issued for filming in the communities of Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge and unincorporated Pasadena are withdrawn." The destruction has even hit some of Los Angeles' most affluent celebrity residents like Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, Anna Faris, Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore and Paris Hilton, Variety said. But "Hacks" star and recent Golden Globe winner, Jean Smart, pleaded with networks to cancel upcoming awards shows and instead donate to the victims of the wildfires and firefighters.
