I’m heartbroken at the devastation around us & grateful to God (folded hands emoji) that we are safe as of now,"

“My thoughts & prayers to people that are displaced & have lost everything in these fires. Hope the wind dies down soon & the fires are contained. A big thank you (folded hands emoji) to the fire department, fire fighters & everyone else helping to save lives & property. Stay safe everyone (red heart emoji),” Preity further mentioned.
