Christina Applegate has shared a scathing message to people online who have negative things to say about the LA fires.

According to officials, the wildfires raging across the county have now claimed the lives of 25 people, with the death toll expected to rise, and displaced hundreds of thousands.

Amongst those have included a number of A-listers, some of who have lost their homes and were forced to evacuate.

And during Tuesday's episode (14 January) of Applegate's MeSsy podcast with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Sigler said of the fires which have seen more than 90,000 people evacuated: "There’s not really words for it."

"You know what I have words for? F*cking people who are saying that it’s, you know, good. It’s Hollywood and those stupid Hollywood people. Like, you’ve gotta be kidding me," Applegate chimed in (via PEOPLE).

Speaking of the celebrities in question, the Dead To Me star continued: "We’re a small portion of the city.

"I mean, this is a city of people that are working their a**es off at fast food chains or, you know, f*cking builders and painters, and it’s a myriad of groups of humans here, so to say good riddance is real sick, and I’m not liking that whatsoever."

Sigler then suggested Applegate 'tune out' such remarks to which she replied: "I’ve tuned it out because they’re ridiculous, but I’m calling them out right now."

Sigler went on to share her thoughts on the matter, dubbing the people who live in LA 'dreamers' who 'work top to bottom' and 'work their f*cking asses off' to get to where they are in life.

"And sure. Is there a group of people that have been affected that will have the ability to rebuild their lives?" she went on.

"I wouldn’t say easily, but soon? Yes. And are there thousands of other people that literally have no idea where they will begin? Yes. And we have to hold both of them in our hearts."

Many celebs have since also spoken out about the fires including the likes of Kim Kardashian.

Kim previously shouted out the prisoners who were working to combat the wildfires throughout southern California.

Taking to Instagram, she pleaded with Governor Gavin Newsom to increase their pay.

She wrote: "On all 5 fires in Los Angeles, there are hundreds of incarcerated firefighters, risking their lives to save us. They are on the Palisades fire and Eaton fire in Pasadena working 24 hour shifts."

The Kardashians star added: "The incarcerated firefighters have been paid $1/hour to risk their lives, and this pay has been the same since 1984. It has never been raised with inflation. It’s never been raised when fires got worse and many died."

However, the mum-of-four explained: "This year there was an agreement to raise the incarcerated firefighters pay to $5/hour, but it got shot down last minute."

She personally called on the politician to do 'what no Governor has done in 4 decades', demanding: "Raise the incarcerated firefighter pay to a rate that honours a human being risking their life to save our lives and homes."
