The Critics’ Choice Awards have been postponed as the Los Angeles wildfires continue to grow, according to media reports.

The 30th annual awards ceremony, which was scheduled to take place on Sunday from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, has been pushed from Jan. 12 to Jan. 26 as the wildfires reach well over 10,000 acres across the city as of Wednesday morning.

“This unfolding tragedy has already had a profound impact on our community. All our thoughts and prayers are with those battling the devastating fires and with all who have been affected,” CCA CEO Joey Berlin said in a statement to media.
