Critics Choice Awards: Why Kate Hudson Insists Her New Netflix Show Will Be a Slam Dunk
Kate Hudson is still reeling from the effects of the Los Angeles wildfires.
As the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star walked the red carpet at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., she reflected on seeing the natural disaster ravage the community she calls home.
“I grew up in the [Pacific] Palisades,” she exclusively told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi Feb. 7. “I think that it’s something that you would never imagine you’d ever see in your lifetime or experience.”
But amid the devastation, the actress said she’s been inspired by the relief efforts already underway.
“To me, it makes sense,” Kate, 45, continued. “People who live in Los Angeles, we love Los Angeles, and everyone’s just risen to the occasion. Now we just have to go through that, continue to support each other and rebuild.”
In fact, Kate’s sister-in-law Meredith Hagner, who walked the red carpet with the Running Point star, has already seen the community’s resilience firsthand.
