Mandy Moore calls out people criticizing her for posting in-laws' GoFundMe detail after they lost their home in LA wildfires

American singer Mandy Moore has had enough of netizens criticizing her for sharing her in-laws' GoFundMe page after their house was destroyed by the ongoing wildfires in Southern California. On January 9, Moore announced on her Instagram that her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Kit and Griff Goldsmith, lost their home in the Eaton Fire.

Additionally, the singer shared the link to their GoFundMe page to her rebuild their home and encouraged netizens to "support" her in-laws. She emphasized that they needed it "now more than ever" because their first baby is on the way. Mandy Moore noted that Griff also lost his drum set, which he used to make a living. However, the actress' Instagram post in support of her in-laws was met with negative comments from netizens.

Some argued that she shouldn't be asking for donations for her family and should instead use her own money to help them. Fans called her "obnoxious" and pointed out that as a "multi-millionaire," she could find a way to help her family in rebuilding their home. In response to the backlash, Mandy updated the caption of her Instagram post late on Thursday. The added caption read:

"****And people questioning whether we're helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic. Of course we are."

Mandy Moore explained that their friend Matt created the GoFundMe page and that she shared the link because people had been asking how they could help her in-laws.
