“Amazon should be banned and I demand an apology” Mandy Moore trashes Amazon for leaving delivery at her in-laws’ home destroyed in deadly LA fires: ‘Do better’
Mandy Moore is demanding Amazon “do better” after a driver for the delivery service left a package on the doorstep of her in-laws’ home that was devoured by the LA fires
The “This Is Us” alum, 40, slammed the company over the delivery, taking to her Instagram stories on Monday to air out her frustration.
“Do better Amazon,” Moore wrote across what appeared to be a delivery confirmation photo seemingly taken by an Amazon driver showing a package on the front steps of her in-laws’ burned-down home.
The “Candy” singer added, “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.”
Moore’s Altadena, Calif., home, which she shares with husband Taylor Goldsmith and their three children, was also damaged by flames from the Eaton Fire.
Returning to Instagram on Tuesday, Moore shared in-depth details about her family’s terrifying escape from their home and reflected on the fires one month after they began ravaging Los Angeles.
“We never got an evacuation notice,” the star wrote. “Sometimes in the quieter moments of processing the last month, I play the game of what would have happened if I didn’t have my phone next to me, playing my typical ‘piano for deep sleep’ mix as I nursed Lou before bed, so I could answer the call from my brother-in-law?”
Moore continued, “It was 6:45 p.m. and he told me he, his wife, and our niece were evacuating, grabbing my in-laws (his parents) and getting the heck out of Dodge and we should do the same. I calmly walked downstairs and relayed this to my husband and without skipping a beat, we promptly packed up the kids (in their pjs), our dog, and scrambled to find our 3 cats as the power went out.”
The actress went on, writing, “We found out this week that while our house is still standing, because of the proximity to the fires/ burning structures (around us on all sides) the contents of our home are a near total loss. Clothes, furniture, pretty much everything will have to be disposed of…maybe even the walls too. We won’t be there for a very long time as it and the neighborhood itself get sorted out and cleaned and the rebuilding starts. I say all of this because i’m struggling.”
“Yes we are exceedingly lucky to technically still have the structure of a home,” she acknowledged. “But also… do we still have a home? I think my definition is in flux. The physical space? No. It goes without saying that our sweet brood and our pets are ALL that matters and home is where we are together… but having a sanctuary and safe space to feel settled really goes a long way too.”
Ironically, Moore and her husband “were weeks away from finally being done” with all the renovations they began making after buying the house in 2020 “when the fires hit.”
