Dalyce Curry, a retired Hollywood actress, has tragically died in the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. Curry, who was 95 years old, was known for her roles in famous films like The Blues Brothers, The Ten Commandments, and Lady Sings the Blues. According to Forbes, her remains were found at her home in Altadena, California, which was destroyed by the fires.

Dalyce Curry was last seen on the evening of January 7, when her great-granddaughter, Dalyce Kelley, dropped her off at her house. The next morning, Kelley tried to check on her, but she was blocked by police barricades set up in the area because of the wildfires.

Kelley then searched for her grandmother at a nearby shelter, the Pasadena Civic Centre, which had been set up for people who had to leave their homes due to the fires. Unfortunately, Curry was not there.

Days later, officials confirmed that Curry’s remains had been found at her home, which had been severely damaged by the flames. Dalyce Kelley shared the sad news on social media on January 12, saying, "About an hour ago the coroner confirmed her remains were indeed found at the property. #RIPMOMMADEE. We had a great run. She impacted my life in so many ways. This loss is devastating."

Curry’s granddaughter, Loree Beamer-Wilkinson, remembered her as being very active and lively, saying that you would never guess she was 95 years old. "She was very active," Beamer-Wilkinson said. "You would not think she was 95." Curry’s death is part of a larger tragedy, as the Los Angeles wildfires have already claimed at least 24 lives in the area.

The loss of Dalyce Curry has deeply affected her family and friends, and many people are mourning her death. She was beloved for her contributions to film, as well as for the love and support she gave to her family throughout her life. Her passing serves as a reminder of the destructive power of the wildfires that continue to ravage parts of California.
