Bob Iger talks SoCal wildfire relief on Oscars red carpet
Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger walked the red carpet before the Oscars and talked about the devastating Southern California wildfires. Disney aided with relief efforts. Iger said many Disney employees were impacted by the wildfires and thousands of people in the L.A. area are without homes. "It was important for us to not only take care of [employees] but to take care of the community that we live and work in," Iger said. And, I will say that while L.A. is resilient, it will also take a long time to get over this, particularly for those who lost so much.
