New Orleans' Native Ellen DeGeneres Reacts to Flood News

Posted by on September 1, 2005 6:10 PM |

ellen degeneres picComedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres told the New York Daily News that she has been glued to the tv in recent days, frantically worried about friends and family in her hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana.

"New Orleans is my hometown, and it's gone," she told the Daily News yesterday. "for me, it's pretty heavy."

DeGeneres said her 82-year-old aunt, who lives in Mississippi, was able to grab four paintings before leaving her home. Her cousins in the same area also got out safely. However, they've all lost everything they've owned, including their homes.

DeGeneres was born in New Orleans and has watched her childhood get washed away.
"It's freaking my mother out. It's pretty hard. ... i don't think people have grasped this, it's a million people who are homeless."
