Spencer Pratt has jumped in to defend Mandy Moore amid her fundraiser backlash for the LA wildfires.

Moore snapped at her followers on social media after she was criticized for asking for donations to her family's GoFundMe page last week.

The actor and singer is one of hundreds of thousands of people who have been impacted by the raging Los Angeles wildfires where the flames have claimed the lives of 24 people and burnt thousands of buildings and homes to the ground.

The 'Candy' hitmaker revealed in a post on Instagram that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Griff and Kat Goldsmith, lost 'everything they own' in the Eaton fire, weeks before the couple are expecting their first baby.

The Hollywood star promoted a GoFundMe link for her family to her millions of social media followers, which didn't go down so well.

Fans slammed her for 'the audacity' of asking for money and said it was 'not a good look' from the millionaire.

Moore snapped back: "We just lost most of our life in a fire too.

"Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything."

Now, American TV personality, Pratt, has leapt to Moore's defense after he also lost his home in the Palisades fire.

The 41-year-old said in a tirade for almost a minute and a half on TikTok: "Y'all, I don't know all the information but let me tell you about Mandy Moore. Mandy Moore, when I was younger, shout-out Mandy Moore. She booked my hotel for me because she was such a nice friend.

"Just as a friend, she booked my hotel in New York - I had never been to New York. I feel like she even booked my flight because I was so much fun to be around. Mandy Moore, I will ride for Mandy Moore."

The Princes of Malibu producer continued: "If I see one more TikTok about Mandy Moore and GoFundMe's, I’m going to start coming after you guys.

"You want beef with your worst nightmare, which is me right now, you post about Mandy Moore. I will ride for Mandy Moore."

Pratt protested Moore 'doesn't do anything wrong' and is the 'nicest freakin' lady ever'.

He continued: "She's been nice since... 2004. If you're nice in 2004, you're still nice in 2025. Like I'm talking so nice."

The Hills star reiterated his threat and warned he would 'come' after people on social media.

"So don't you dare come for Mandy Moore. A lot of people I follow, you're popping up on my page, I wanna block you, stitch you and come for you but maybe delete your content about Mandy Moore because Mandy Moore is a real one", Pratt continued, "She's a great human, she's not doing anything out of pocket, she's posting GoFundMe's, that's great.



"She doesn't have to pay for whoever. She's got her own life, her own kids, so don't you come for Mandy Moore, unless you want a real problem."

The rant comes as the Goldsmith's spoke out in an emotional interview on CNN's The Lead last week.

The couple said they 'don't have any answers' about their next steps and described seeing the city 'destroyed' with people 'losing everything' as a 'nightmare'.

Meanwhile, Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, also plan to sue the State of California for alleged negligence after their home burnt to the ground.
