An elderly retired actress has been found dead in her Los Angeles home after it was burned to the ground amid the raging wildfires.
Dalyce Curry, 95, died after the Eaton Fire tore through her property in Altadena just north of LA , her family has confirmed in heartbreaking social media updates.
Known as ‘Momma D’ to her family, the former actress appeared as an extra in The Blues Brothers, The Ten Commandments and Lady Sings the Blues during her Hollywood heyday.
California first responders uncovered her remains 6pm Sunday. One of Curry’s great-grandchildren, Dalyce Kelley, confirmed the sad news on Facebook.
‘About an hour ago the coroner confirmed her remains were found at the property,’ she wrote on Sunday evening.
Kelley earlier posted shocking footage of her grandmother’s fire-damaged Cadillac and home, which had been razed to the ground by the devastating wildfire.
She combed through her great-grandmother’s ruined belongings, while identifying her bicycle, refrigerator, and door amid the charred remains.
‘This was the kitchen,’ Kelley said as she walked through the post-apocalyptic scene, with the sky still glowing orange with wildfires on the horizon.
