Mandy Moore is taking aim at Amazon, accusing the company of mishandling a delivery to her in-laws’ house, which was tragically destroyed in the recent Los Angeles wildfires. She urged the retailer to «do better» in a public statement.
Mandy Moore is calling out Amazon after a package was reportedly delivered to her in-laws’ home, which had been destroyed in the Los Angeles wildfires.
The This Is Us actress, 40, posted a striking image on her Instagram Stories on February 11, showing a brown box with an Amazon label sitting on the steps of a completely flattened property.
Expressing her frustration, Moore questioned the company’s oversight, writing, «Do better, Amazon.
Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists?
This is my mother and father-in-law’s home. Smh.»
In response, Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly issued a statement, saying, «We’ve reached out to Ms. Moore via Instagram to apologize and request more details from her in-laws to help us investigate the situation.»
The company also acknowledged, «For weeks, we’ve been advising delivery drivers in Southern California to exercise caution in areas affected by the wildfires, especially when delivering to damaged homes.
Clearly, that didn’t happen here.»
Moore’s post comes after she and her family were personally affected by the January wildfires.
While her home in Altadena was largely spared, she revealed her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, 39, lost his music studio, and their garage and back house were destroyed.
«We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss.
Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing.
For now,» she shared on Instagram on January 9. «It’s not livable but mostly intact.
We lost Taylor and Griffin’s studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they’ve ever owned. We lost our garage and back house.»
In her emotional post, Moore also mentioned how the fire devastated her community.
«Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone.
My in-laws. My brother and sister-in-law—six weeks away from welcoming their first baby.
Our best friends. Feeling weird survivor’s guilt,» she wrote.
She concluded her post with a message of support for the community: «We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support.
Thanks to everyone for checking on us and offering help. Altadena strong.»
After sharing a GoFundMe link to help her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, who had lost everything in the Eaton Fire, Moore faced criticism.
She responded by defending her family, writing, «And people questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic. Of course we are.»
