Marlon Wayans Speaks On California Wildfires: ‘It’s A Rebirth’

On Thursday (Jan.9), Marlon Wayans took to Instagram to offer words of encouragement to anyone impacted by the California wildfires. Wayans posted a photo of the iconic Hollywood sign burning, writing in the caption, “Wow… this image got me thinking spiritually… not sure if it’s real. Don’t care.”

Marlon Wayans believes the wildfire situation has offered many people reflection and isn’t just about “Hollywood burning” but a “rebirth.” He continued, “This is rinsing our souls of all the devastation we have endured over the past five years. Covid, strikes, fires, etc. This is the moment we come together as an entertainment community.” In Marlon Wayans’s opinion, it’s time to focus on “triumph” instead of the tragedies we endure.

“Through all this tragedy, let’s focus on triumph,” Marlon Wayans says

“Through all this tragedy, let’s focus on triumph. Everything is God. May we all hear him. He is screaming at us… Everything will be okay, even better than before. It’s not the end… it’s a beginning. Love and prayers to all those affected. I love all of US. To all my friends that have lost their homes I am saddened yet happy that you have your LIVES. These things are replaceable, but life is not. Big hugs and love. I find rainbows [rainbow emoji] whenever I’m in storms… some people find gloom.”

In another post, Wayans thanked first responders and their ” sacrifices.” He believes that Los Angeles will return “bigger and better” despite its current turmoil. “I hope everyone’s loved ones are accounted for and are safe. My prayers are for all of us affected but to the strength of those that risk their lives to protect us. God is good. Let these moments of extreme devastation unite us. [Heart emoji] God bless us all in all tragedies may we continue to strive for optimal triumph. Life itself.”
