The situation in LA County has been nothing short of heartbreaking. Firestorms have wreaked havoc, leaving behind a trail of devastation and claiming 11 lives, according to official reports. More than 10,000 structures turned into rubble with four fires still ablaze as of Saturday. Over 153,000 people have already been evacuated and insured losses are expected to be somewhere over $8 Billion, making it one of the worst tragedies for the county. Amid this challenging time, the tennis world has rallied together, and the latest to join this heartfelt chorus is none other than the legendary Serena Williams who has joined her husband, Alexis Ohanian, in offering her prayers for the victims.
Ohanian took to his X on January 10 and tried to find solace in the success of the UVA Women’s Basketball Team’s Win. Calling the week “dark”, the Reddit co-founder wrote, “Small ray of sunshine on a dark week – great job, ladies.” Remember, Ohanian has been a vocal supporter of women’s sports and could only look upon it for some happiness amid the saddening devastation caused by LA fires. Now, Williams has joined her empathetic husband in offering prayers for the affected.
