00:05mean, you mentioned some of the celebrities and, you know, on our list we're being told

00:09Mel Gibson, Billy Crystal, Anthony Hopkins, Jeff Bridges, some of the people who've lost

00:13their homes in addition to the ones you mentioned.

00:20but they also are just really, aren't they, the tip of an iceberg in a whole ecosystem

00:25of people involved in the entertainment industry, it includes people like makeup artists and

00:31security staff.

00:32I mean, thousands of lives have been seriously affected, haven't they?

00:37Absolutely.

00:38I mean, it is an industry town.

00:59And that seems bizarre to maybe, you know, think about it in that way, but that is the

01:05economy of Los Angeles.

01:07And that has ripple effects that will go out because there are going to be people who are

01:13unable to work on projects.
