Upon visiting the site, Kelley described the scene as 'total devastation', noting that the only item left from her grandmother's home was her blue Cadillac.

Kelley had attempted to check on her grandmother the day after the fire began but was turned away by police due to the ongoing emergency.

Before confirming her grandmother's death, Kelley had held onto hope for a miracle, reflecting the family's struggle with the loss.

Dalyce Curry, a 95-year-old actress known for her roles in 'The Blues Brothers' and 'The Ten Commandments', tragically died in her home during the recent Eaton Fire in Altadena, Los Angeles.

Her remains were discovered in the fire-ravaged property, and the L.A. County coroner's office confirmed her death to her family on January 11, 2025.

Kelley, Curry's granddaughter, was the last person to see her alive on January 7, just before a power outage hindered Curry's ability to reach her for safety.

In an interview, Kelley expressed her devastation over the loss, highlighting her grandmother's love for Altadena and her hopes of living beyond 100 years.

Curry had a notable acting career, appearing in films such as 'The Blues Brothers', 'The Ten Commandments', and 'Lady Sings the Blues', and had lived independently in her cottage for over 20 years.

The National Weather Service warned of a 'particularly dangerous situation' due to high winds that could exacerbate the fires, which have already claimed at least 25 lives.

Local authorities are still working to control the Eaton Fire, which has devastated areas in Pasadena and Altadena.

Curry's passing is part of a broader tragedy, as the wildfires have impacted many families, including the loss of former Australian child actor Rory Sykes.

As of January 12, at least 24 fatalities have been reported in the Los Angeles area due to the ongoing wildfires.
