Mandy Moore\u00a0is clapping back at the critics.<\/p>\n

The actress, 40, is responding to those criticizing her for sharing a GoFundMe for her family members who were affected by\u00a0the Los Angeles\u00a0<\/a>fires.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law Griff & Kit lost their home and everything they own in the Eaton Fire,\u201d Moore wrote on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>. \u201cWith their first baby on the way in a matter of weeks, they need our support now more than ever. Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums\/percussion he uses to make a living. It\u2019s all so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our buddy Matt started this go fund me and i\u2019m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. no one is forcing you to do anything.<\/p>\n

The crisis in Los Angeles started with the\u00a0Pacific Palisades fire<\/a>\u00a0on Tuesday morning, followed by more fires that\u00a0sparked in neighboring areas Eaton<\/a>, Woodley, Hurst and more.<\/p>\n

After Moore shared on Wednesday that she had to\u00a0evacuate with her husband<\/a>, Taylor Goldsmith, and their\u00a0three children<\/a>, sons August, 3, and Oscar, 2, and daughter Louise, 3 months, the singer gave an update on their house on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now. It\u2019s not livable but mostly intact. We lost Taylor and griffin\u2019s studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they\u2019ve ever owned,\u201d she penned on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>. \u201cWe lost our garage and back house. Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone. My in laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

Explaining what happened to her family members who also lived in the area, Moore continued: \u201cMy brother and sister in law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends. Feeling weird survivors guilt. We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thanks for everyone for checking on us and offering us help.

As the\u00a0Los Angeles wildfires<\/a>\u00a0continue to burn in parts of Southern California, authorities deployed arson investigators to the\u00a0Pacific Palisades\u00a0to determine the origin of the blaze.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cause of the fire remains unknown, and it continues to be\u00a0under active investigation,\u201d Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

But many celebrities have spoken out and are convinced foul play was the culprit.<\/p>\n
