The family of Dalyce Curry, who had a role as an extra in the popular Blues Brothers film, have confirmed that the actress died as a result of the LA wildfires.

The fires, which have torn through Southern California over the past week, are rightly being counted among the worst in US history. At the time of writing, some 25 people have lost their lives in the ongoing disaster, while thousands have been uprooted and face losing homes and businesses.

As per reports, Dalyce Kelley, Dalyce Curry’s granddaughter, took to Facebook earlier this week to reveal that her grandmother’s remains had been discovered shortly before 6pm local time on Sunday, January 12.“We had a great run,” Kelley wrote on social media. “She impacted my life in so many ways.
