Jennifer Lopez has cancelled all of her upcoming media appearances due to “very difficult times” as deadly wildfires continue to tear through California.
The 55-year-old actress was initially scheduled to appear on a long list of talk show to generate buzz for her newest film Unstoppable, but has chosen to call them off due to the current state of emergency. At this time, wildfires across the LA area have destroyed neighborhoods and forced tens of thousands of people to flee. According to reports by CBS, at least 10 people are dead, more than 10,000 structures have burned down, and over 300,000 residents are under evacuation orders or warnings.
And as the state of California is hit with the deadly natural disaster, Jennifer has decided to hold off on promoting her latest sports drama. J.Lo was slated to fly out to New York City next week to speak on the Today show, The View, Live with Kelly and Mark and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which have all now been cancelled.

Speaking on the choice, a source told People: “It’s important to her to focus on supporting the community of Los Angeles during this very difficult time.” This comes as Amazon MGM Studios also made the decision to cancel the Los Angeles premiere of Unstoppable, which had been originally scheduled to take place on Tuesday night.
