Given PLAYBOY’s lengthy relationship with Southern California and the “City of Angels,” along with its physical location in Westwood, many of our own have been displaced in the Los Angeles Wildfires. We are wishing strength to them, all Los Angelenos, visitors, first responders and everyone viciously thrust into this natural disaster.
