Heartbreaking final words of Hollywood actress before she died in LA wildfires

Incredibly sad

Terrible wildfires have been tearing through California and Los Angeles in the last week with at least 25 dead and hundreds of thousands displaced from their homes.

One of the unfortunate victims of the fires was Dalyce Curry, a 95-year-old actress Hollywood actress and extra in the Blues Brothers.

Curry had been returning to her home in Altadena in California (8 January), after spending 15 hours in hospital, when the 95-year-old actress and her granddaughter Dalyce Kelley spotted smoke and fires four miles out from their home.

The pair were untroubled by the fire as it was so far off at the time, however, by the morning, the fire at already consumed multiple blocks of Altadena, alerting Kelley who lives 25 miles away.

Sadly, an evacuation order was issued at 3:30am, but all via mobile phone, which Curry was not too adept with, understandably for most older generations.

After the town was burned to the ground by the next day, it took another couple days until Curry was confirmed dead at the house in the night.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Kelley has revealed the sad last words that her grandmother told her.

Speaking of the last time they saw each other, Kelley said: “She gave me a big wet kiss and she said I love you.

“I said, ‘I love you too’ and I made sure that she was safe inside. We were both so tired from the day at the hospital. I didn’t feel like she was in imminent danger because there was no evacuation order at that point.

“Sometimes her kisses were too wet that you have to wipe it off a little bit. That's who she was. Just loving. We kissed, said goodbye and I drove back to my home. That was the last thing we said to one another.”

Despite Kelley's best efforts to find her grandmother, rushing to her house early in the morning, the fire had been too fast and sadly she was too late.

On Sunday (12 January), Kelley received a call from county Medical Examiner officials who confirmed that her grandmother’s remains had been found at her home.
