The 'Vanderpump Rules' alum is a mom to 3-year-old Ocean and 4-month-old Sosa.
Lala Kent opted to evacuate her family from Los Angeles amid the devastating wildfires, but only after she said her infant daughter began to show concerning symptoms.
On Thursday, the Vanderpump Rules alum revealed that while she and her family weren't in the direct path of the fiery blaze, she temporarily relocated herself and her two daughters to Palm Springs, where they will stay until "LA is safe again."
"This morning Sosa woke up and was really struggling to breathe," the Bravolebrity, 34, said of her 4-month-old in a Jan. 9 statement shared to her Instagram Story–about two days after the deadly wildfires began raging through the area. "I made the decision to pack my family up and come to Palm Springs, strictly based on the air quality. This is where we will stay until LA is safe again."
Along with the infant, she is also a mom to a 3-year-old daughter, Ocean, whom she shares with her ex-fiancé, film producer Randall Emmett.
"This is one of the most devastating situations I have ever seen. At this point, if you were not directly affected, you know someone who has lost everything," she wrote, later clarifying that her family has "not been directly affected, and I am trying to feel grateful for that–it's hard because of what I'm seeing other people go through. In times like this, all you want to do is go home for comfort, and 1,000s of people don't have their safe place anymore. There are looters, lack of water, and lack of preparation. I am sad, but I am angry...."
"I am obsessing over how we could be so underprepared. My heart is shattered for my community. Neighborhoods that people have called home for decades, now nonexistent.. It is unimaginable," the mom of two wrote elsewhere, quipping that she'll "save that rant for a later date."
"For now, all I want to do is say thank you to our firefighters and first responders. Our cities' [heroes]. And to everyone affected–I know you feel alone. You are not alone," she added in the following slide before re-posting a series of resources for those looking to donate or find a way to support the communities directly affected.
As of 2:20 p.m. local time on Thursday, the Palisades Fire burned more than 17,200 acres, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). Firefighters nearby were also battling the Eaton Fire, which had burned more than 13,600 acres as of 3:50 p.m. local time on Thursday. Both of the fires, which authorities said started on Tuesday, Jan. 7, were 0 percent contained by late Thursday afternoon. At least five people have died due to the devastating conditions.
