Final words of Hollywood actress who died in LA Fires revealed.
A beloved matriarch tragically perished in the deadly Eaton Fire, which ravaged Altadena, California.
Hollywood actress’ last day profiled.
It all began on January 8, when the elderly woman and her granddaughter returned to their cottage after a long hospital visit. The granddaughter had spent 15 exhausting hours at the hospital and was eager to get her grandmother back home to Altadena.
Driving back to their cottage, they noticed something troubling on the horizon. Flames and smoke could be seen about four miles east of their neighborhood, a clear sign that the wildfire was spreading fast.
At first, the smoke seemed distant, and the granddaughter didn’t think the fire would reach them.
The fire, while visible, didn’t seem to be an immediate threat, and the two women were hopeful they would be safe in the comfort of home.
The elderly woman, tired from her hospital visit, just wanted to sleep in her own bed. She was ready for rest and relief, her mind focused on the simple comfort of her cottage after a taxing day.
Tired and weary, her granddaughter left, feeling reassured that her grandmother was settled and secure.
Devastating aftermath of LA fires detailed.
However, by the next morning, everything had changed. The star’s granddaughter awoke to devastating news—by the time she had gone to sleep, the fire had already consumed large sections of Altadena.
Frantic, she immediately called the sheriff’s and fire departments for information. But the overwhelming number of calls and the scale of the disaster meant no one could confirm her grandmother’s safety.
In desperation, she drove the 25 miles back to Altadena to search for her grandmother herself. With each mile, her anxiety grew—what had happened to the woman she loved and relied on?
When she arrived, she was met with a scene of destruction and despair. The fire had left a charred landscape, and a thick blanket of ash and smoke covered the town. She couldn’t even see the sun.
As she drove through the wreckage, she overheard neighbors sharing their own devastation.
One man screamed that his entire house had burned down, while another woman cried, “The whole city is gone!”
Granddaughter’s frantic search explained.
Her search took her to the Pasadena Civic Center, where evacuees were being sent. But she continued to hope that somehow, her grandmother had escaped the flames and found shelter elsewhere.
An officer, seeing her distress, took her grandmother’s details but advised her to head to another evacuation center. There, she could search for any signs of survivors or evacuees from her grandmother’s neighborhood.
The officer’s follow-up call soon dashed her remaining hopes. He informed her that her grandmother’s house had been completely destroyed by the fire.
Undeterred, she drove to another evacuation center, clinging to the hope that someone might have rescued her grandmother. But the hours stretched on without any answers, and the uncertainty continued to gnaw at her that she was gone.
Two days later, Kelley returned to Altadena to search for her grandmother’s remains. With no word from law enforcement, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Hollywood star’s death confirmed.
When her granddaughter arrived at the burned remains of her grandmother’s home, what remained was hardly recognizable. Everything was reduced to ashes, and there was nothing left of the house where her grandmother had lived for more than 20 years.
Despite the destruction, she felt an overwhelming need to see the site with her own eyes. As she surveyed the area, all she could think of was how much her grandmother loved that little cottage and the life she had built there.
When she finally reached the spot where her grandmother’s favorite chair once stood, it was all gone. She could barely make out the familiar corner of the room, but there was no sign of her grandmother.
The only remains found were heartbreaking—a half skull, still bearing the eyeglass frames her grandmother had worn every day. “Her glasses were probably still on her,” her granddaughter tearfully said. “She was likely asleep when it happened.”
Actress who died in LA fires revealed.
The woman known as “Momma D” was Dalyce Curry, a former actress with roles in classic films such as The Blues Brothers and The Ten Commandments.
Curry had left the Hollywood spotlight behind after a disturbing encounter with a prominent producer in the 1980s. The producer’s advances, which she refused, led her to walk away from the industry, choosing instead to focus on her work as a nurse for the elderly.
Though she had a brief career in Hollywood, Curry devoted her life to helping others as a home healthcare nurse. She lived for over two decades in her beloved cottage in Altadena, known for her kindness and generosity to those around her.
Kelley’s most devastating realization came when she was told the last words Dalyce Curry ever spoke.
Momma D’s last words highlighted.
The last moment they shared before parting was one of love and warmth. “She gave me a big, wet kiss and said, ‘I love you,’” Dalyce Kelley recalled. “I said, ‘I love you too.’ It was the last thing we said.”
Before the fire took her, Curry’s final words were a simple yet profound, “I love you,” a memory that Kelley will cherish forever.
Curry’s legacy lives on.
Kelley, now left to pick up the pieces, remains determined to honor her grandmother’s memory.
Though the pain is immense, she’s trying to stay strong, holding on to the advice her grandmother would often give: “Nothing is as bad as it seems, even at its worst.”
In the end, Dalyce Curry’s story is not one of Hollywood fame but one of love, family, and the kindness she left behind.
Her final words, “I love you,” will echo through her family’s hearts forever as they carry on her legacy.
