Chris Pratt has received some backlash following the words he used when talking about the LA wildfires.
The Los Angeles wildfires have now claimed the lives of two dozen people, as the coroner’s office noted that the death toll from wildfires in LA has now risen to 28. 22 people were still missing as of Monday (20 January).
It has been an incredibly tough time for many people living in California this year, and 2025 has not had a happy start.

Not only have businesses and homes of folk living in the area been taken, but so have the homes of the rich and famous in the area, with a slew of celebs having to evacuate and watch their mansions turn to dust.
Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, and more have seen their homes disappear, as well as that of Anna Faris.
Farris, is the ex-wife of Chris Pratt, and shares a son with him.

While Pratt re-married in 2019 to Katherine Schwarzenegger and went on to have three children with her, he still co-parents with Faris.
However, Pratt has been met with backlash after mentioning his ex while he talked about the devastating wildfires.
His 12-year-old son, Jack has unfortunately lost his home and school to the fires, something which Pratt mentioned in recent talks about the fires.
He shared in a social media update on Wednesday 22 January that his home was still standing, writing: “Miraculously it’s still standing.

“By the grace of God, we have four walls and a roof.”
However, Faris wasn’t as lucky.
“It’s truly devastating, as you know,” he said. “Silver lining is my house was saved, but at the same time, so many people’s houses were burned around us and the community’s gone.”

He continued: “My son’s school is gone. My son’s mom’s house burned down.”
The use of ‘son’s mom’ came as a shock, and annoyance to many people on social media, who felt as though he was distancing himself from a woman who had supported him through the beginning of his career until he went on to break into superstardom.
One person wrote: “He couldn’t have said Anna or my ex-wife?”
Someone else shared: “‘My son’s mom’……? Lmao bye.”

Another wrote: “My co-parent's, my son's house, Jack and Anna's house. Anything but what he said.”
So, it’s safe to say that he’s not in many people’s good books, and it’s not like it’s the first time when it comes to Faris.
Pratt faced backlash for not mentioning his ex during a Mother's Day message to, wife Katherine.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star posted a photo of himself alongside Schwarzenegger, mother-in-law Maria Shriver and mum Kathy Pratt, on Instagram and thanked ‘all of the mothers out there’, but not Faris - the mother of his son.
Tyla has contacted Chris Pratt's reps for a comment.
