Brad Paisley shared a heartfelt tribute to the firefighters battling ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, California.
Paisley shared a few photos by photojournalist Ethan Swope, chronicling the ongoing efforts to put out the flames. The country star wrote in his caption on Instagram: “We are always looking for heroes I think. These are mine. As is [Ethan Swope]. Truly. God bless LA.” He added the hashtag, “L.A. Strong.”
Paisley was one of many country artists to express their heartbreak over the ongoing wildfires, and seek ways to help those impacted. Others include Southern California-born singer-songwriter Brett Young, Jessie James Decker (who was working in Santa Monica when the fires started), Reba McEntire, Kacey Musgraves and more.
The “She’s Everything” singer and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, bought their first home together in Pacific Palisades. They lived in the Los Angeles neighborhood for years. Paisley wrote in a post last week, “that beautiful old house burned last night. As did most of that community. So many good people displaced, devastated and cast out all over LA.” Paisley pledged to find ways to help those impacted, and said he wanted “to mourn the loss of a town. And acknowledge the beauty and the memories of what it was. It is all so tragic and sad. Love to you all.”
