Whoopi Goldberg asked for sympathy for the Hollywood celebrities who lost their homes in the Los Angeles wildfires this week, saying on her ABC podcast, “The View: Behind the Table,” that the items lost and emotional strife suffered is the same as everyone else’s.
“Yeah, they might be famous – it doesn’t change the fact that somebody has lost their grandparents’ wedding book,” she said in conversation with host Brian Teta, executive producer of “The View.” “It doesn’t just the fact that somebody has lost the cauldron that held somebody’s ashes,” she said, listing possible keepsakes and meaningful mementos that went up in flames in the Pacific Palisades and elsewhere.
