“Makes me f—ing sick to see most people just [carrying] on posting on lame ass social media!” Lee wrote. “Guys right now nobody gives a flying f— when your record drops or the next concert is when so many people are in the middle of one of the biggest disasters of all time!”
“I get that some comic relief is always need but Jesus Christ leave it all alone and maybe just stop and see who needs help if you can.”
Lee’s band, Mötley Crüe, posted about the blaze on Facebook on Jan. 9. “To everyone affected by the devastating and unprecedented fires in our hometown of Los Angeles, our thoughts are with you during this very difficult time.”
They added: “May you and your loved ones stay safe as we stand together to overcome.”
