Well, that didn't take long.
Celebrities have once again proved that no amount of tragedy or carnage can humble them. No amount of collective human loss will bring them down to our level.
Exhibit A: America's one-time sweetheart, Mandy Moore.
As LA wildfires continue raging, the 40-year-old actress is begging for money on Instagram.
Yes, the star of 'This Is Us', a ratings juggernaut that reportedly earned her $23 million over the show's entire six-season run, wants average Americans to donate to her own family members.

The target fundraising goal for these two privileged, hipster Angelenos, by the way: $60,000.
Please. That's the equivalent of change in Moore's surely custom-made couch cushions.
No matter. This is what she wrote in that gibberish post, defending herself against critics who say she has plenty of money to help her family out:
'People questioning whether we're helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money google [sic] says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic.'
Of course not, Mandy. That's the point.
Why would, or could, we empathize with you? Empathy is the result of having experienced the exact same set of circumstances.
Most of us aren't sitting on $23 million.
America made Mandy Moore, a mediocre talent at best, a multimillionaire. She never has to work another day in her life. She and her family can live like royalty off her substantial passive income.
