Bill Hader surprises news crew covering LA fires after his home miraculously survives blaze
Bill Hader surprised a news crew in Los Angeles this week when he offered to join the team in covering the wildfires raging through Southern California.
The 46-year-old Saturday Night Live alum’s photo appeared in a X message shared by ABC reporter Josh Haskell on Friday.
Haskell wrote on the social media platform: “The Palisades fire resident trying to gain entry approached the news van as if he [were] part of our team, wanted to help cover, ride with us. Then he pulled down his mask, smiled and it was Bill Hader!’
Bill was dressed in dark gray sweatpants, a black hooded shirt, white and gray sneakers and a protective white KN95 face mask.
The journalist described the incident as “a moment you can only experience in LA.”
According to Josh’s story, Hader, who showed a peace sign in the photo, “couldn’t have been nicer.”

The devastation in Southern California occurred Tuesday morning when the combination of heavy winds and lack of rain created the perfect conditions for a wildfire.
The flames quickly spread across the Pacific Palisades, home to celebrities including Reese Witherspoon, Anna Farris, Tyra Banks and many more.
As of Friday evening, the Palisades fire alone has scorched 21,317 acres of land as firefighters continue to work around the clock to keep the flames under control.
Paris Hilton, Hailey Bieber, Chris Pratt and his mother-in-law Maria Shriver are just a few public figures who have asked for prayers amid the unprecedented wreckage.
