Actor Dalyce Curry has died at 95, a victim of the wildfires that are currently ravaging the Los Angeles area.

Curry’s great-granddaughter and caretaker, Dalyce Kelley, shared the sad news in a Facebook post on Sunday.

“About an hour ago the coroner confirmed her remains were indeed found at the property. #RIPMOMMADEE 🕊️,” Kelley wrote. “We had a great run. She impacted my life in so many ways. This loss is devastating.”

Kelley’s message came days after asking for the public’s help finding her relative, whose Altadena home was destroyed by the Eaton Fire.

“My grandmothers house burned down has anyone seen MOMMA DEE,” Kelley shared on Facebook last week. “At the shelter searching a third time. Not here.”

Curry is among the 25 confirmed dead in the wildfires, which flared up last week amid severe Santa Ana winds in the region.

During her time in show business, she appeared as an extra in classic films like “The Blues Brothers,” “The Ten Commandments” and “Lady Sings the Blues.”

As of Tuesday, firefighters have contained 35% of the Altadena blaze that Curry died in.

But on Monday, the National Weather Service warned that high wind forecasts over the next coming days have put the city in a “particularly dangerous situation,” which could lead the fires to intensify.
