Henry Winkler lost his cool when he shared a tweet suggesting that the deadly LA wildfires were caused by an arsonist, who should be “beaten” “unrecognizable.” Sparking the interest of the online community, officials addressed the viral post, hoping to douse the flames of the theory before it burned out of control.
Only two days after one of North America’s largest cities started battling the wind-fueled wildfires, Henry Winkler, best known as the super cool Fonzie, took to X, expressing his concerns about the devastation across Los Angeles.
“THERE IS an ARSONIST here in LA,” the 79-year-old Happy Days star wrote on X. Winkler who owns a home in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of LA, adds, “May you be beaten you unrecognizable!!! The pain you have caused!!!”
The tweet – viewed by 7.1 million people – was met with applause from fans who flooded Winkler’s post with positive comments.
“I was wondering about this thought…because no one has said how it was caused,” tweets one user. A second suggests that it was “probably a multiple arsonists.”
“Agreed. I’ve always thought that, and I have suspicions of who sent them too. Some people are so jealous of California,” shares a third.
