Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has addressed recent reports suggesting she returned to Nigeria due to the wildfires in Los Angeles. In a statement shared on her Instagram account, she clarified that her relocation was unrelated to the ongoing crisis in California.
Omotola expressed gratitude for the concern shown by fans and emphasized that she and her family are safe. She stated, “I have been in Nigeria since December 2024 and am still here presently. While I deeply cherish my connection to Los Angeles, these fires were not the reason for my travel.”
She also extended her thoughts to those affected by the wildfires, noting, “My heart remains in Los Angeles during this difficult time… As the fires continue to threaten lives and homes, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted.”
Omotola urged media outlets to correct any misinformation regarding her travel and encouraged support for organizations assisting those affected by the wildfires.
