The Los Angeles wildfires have been dubbed one of the worst in US history and have already cost the lives of 24 people.
Dalyce Curry’s family confirmed over the weekend (January 12) that the Blues Brothers extra had died as a result of the LA wildfires.
Dalyce Kelley, the actresses granddaughter, took to Facebook to confirm that Curry’s remains had been discovered just before 6pm local time on Sunday.
Writing on social media she said: “”We had a great run. She impacted my life in so many ways. This loss is devastating,”
Speaking to the DailyMail, Kelley also revealed her 95-year-old grandmother’s final words as well as the chaos of trying to find her after the fires spread to her home.
On January 8, just after midnight, Kelley and Curry arrived at Curry’s home on Krenz Street. The pair were aware of the fires that had broken out as they could see the smoke about four miles from Curry’s home.
The pair were not particularly alarmed, believing it was too far to reach her grandmother’s home and no evacuation order had been issued.
The pair were coming home from the hospital and Kelley said her grandmother simply wanted to rest in her own bed.
Speaking of the last time they saw each other, Kelley said: “She gave me a big wet kiss and she said I love you.
“I said, ‘I love you too’ and I made sure that she was safe inside. We were both so tired from the day at the hospital. I didn’t feel like she was in eminent danger because there was no evacuation order at that point.
“Sometimes her kisses were too wet that you have to wipe it off a little bit. That’s who she was. Just loving. We kissed, said goodbye and I drove back to my home. That was the last thing we said to one another.”
Kelley said she woke up hours later to the horrifying news that the Eato Fire had spread and consumed several blocks of Altadena.
