Mandy Moore is calling out Amazon after one of its employees allegedly delivered a package to her in-laws’ home that was destroyed in the Los Angeles wildfires.
The This Is Us star, 40, shared a shocking image of a brown box that appears to have Amazon labeling resting on the steps of a completely leveled property. She took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Feb. 11 to share her frustration over the company’s alleged mistake.
“Do better, Amazon. Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists? This is my mother and father in law’s home. Smh,” Moore wrote in white text over the image.

Mandy Moore in December 2023Moore’s callout comes after she and her loved ones were tragically impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires in January.
The actress opened up about having “weird survivors guilt” after the main portion of her Altadena home was spared amid the deadly blaze. She noted that her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, 39, did sadly lose his music studio, and their garage and back house were also destroyed.
"We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now," she wrote in a Jan. 9 update on Instagram. "It's not livable but mostly intact. We lost Taylor and Griffin's studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they've ever owned. We lost our garage and back house."
Moore lives in the home with Goldsmith and their kids, August "Gus" Harrison, 3, Oscar "Ozzie" Bennett, 2, and 3-month-old Louise Everett. In her post, she included three photos that depicted some of the destruction.
She continued in the caption, "Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone. My in laws. My brother and sister in law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends. Feeling weird survivors guilt.”
“We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thanks for everyone for checking on us and offering us help. Altadena strong," Moore concluded.
Days later, the mom of three responded to criticism after she shared a GoFundMe to her Instagram for her brother-in-law Griff and sister-in-law Kit who "lost their home and everything they own in the Eaton Fire."

"Of course we are."
"Our buddy Matt started this GoFundMe and i’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too," she added, followed by her conclusion: “Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything."
