Famous people have been speaking up about the California wildfires; however, fans are offended by Seth MacFarlane’s tribute. He posted a doodle of Family Guy character Brian with the statement, “Thank you to our amazing Los Angeles firefighters. Stay safe.” Brian gave a thumbs up while wearing a fireman suit and a disinterested look.
While Seth, the creator of Family Guy, is receiving backlash for his X post, other celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest are getting praised for donating money to the affected communities. Jean Smart is also offering his voice to encourage donations from networks and award shows.

Seth’s post went viral on X with thousands of comments, including many calling him out for his tone-deaf reaction to the devastating wildfires. “How much of your $300 million did it cost you to share an image with firefighters?” someone asked but was met with defense from Seth’s fans.
They asked offended users to stop worrying about how Seth spends his money or chooses to respond to the ongoing situation. “So this is one of those situations where no amount of money can fix it,” someone explained, adding that they simply have to wait it out and donate to disaster recovery efforts.

Seth has yet to defend his post, which has now gotten over 20 million views on X. Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis changed her Instagram profile picture to a text that reads “I love LA” and has been sharing updates about the disaster. She has so far shared contacts of first responders and means for her followers to donate cash and relief to victims.
Meanwhile, Family Guy viewers also thought it was a good opportunity to plead with Seth for a Brian comeback in the animated comedy series. “Bring brian back i stopped watching when he died its been 12 christmases without him my family still hasn’t recovered,” someone pleaded.
