Ireland Baldwin Complains About Police Guarding Her Home During California Fire
by EG
Ireland Baldwin couldn't prove that she lives in Malibu, so police protecting the community from potential looting during raging wildfires wouldn't let her past a check point. That didn't sit well with the daughter of Alec Baldwin, so she took to social media to complain. Read on for details.

Ireland Basinger-Baldwin has revealed that her Malibu home was torched in the California conflagration – and slammed a cop who she said accused her of looting when trying to save her belongings.
“Yesterday I spent all day long trying to get back to my place in Malibu to gather a couple of my things before the winds were expected to pick back up,” Alec Baldwin’s 23-year-old daughter with Kim Basinger tweeted.

“An officer at a back way entrance to one of the main canyons that take you over to Malibu stopped us and refused to let us in because I don’t have my Malibu address on my ID,” she wrote in her diatribe.
“Not only was he a d–k, but he had 0 compassion and he literally accused us of being looters and threatened us that we were going to be arrested if we kept giving him trouble,” she continued.
“I understand that he was doing his job, but in times like this when people are losing loved ones and losing their homes, the least you can do is show compassion and be as kind as you can even if you can’t help them,” she tweeted.
The fashion model and actress added that her mother’s home also burned down.
“So many friends and friends and family of friends are losing everything they own in these fires,” she wrote. “My mom and her partner lost their Malibu home in #Woolseyfire and thankfully, they are both safe.”
