Singer Mandy Moore has called on Amazon to 'do better' after a delivery person allegedly left a package outside her in-laws' burnt down LA home.

The musician and actor - who rose to fame with her 1999 debut single 'Candy' - is one of the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the wildfires that ravaged California, destroying thousands of structures in Los Angeles and taking the lives of at least 29 people.

Moore's brother and sister-in-law, as well as her in-laws, saw their homes burn down, and the singer has since taken to her social media after Amazon allegedly delivered a package outside the ruins of her in-laws' house.

Moore took to her Instagram story on Monday (February 10) to speak out about an Amazon worker allegedly leaving a parcel outside the ruins of her in-laws' home.

Sharing a photograph, she wrote: "Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists? This is my mother and father-in-law’s home. SMH."

UNILAD has contacted Amazon for comment.

This follows an earlier post which saw Moore share an image of destruction caused by the fire, stating she and her family 'never got an evacuation notice' and it's made her 'play the game of what would have happened if [she] didn't have [her] phone next to [her]' to be alerted to the danger.

The caption reads: "What would have happened if I didn’t have my phone next to me, playing my typical 'piano for deep sleep' mix as I nursed Lou before bed, so I could answer the call from my brother-in-law?

"It was 6:45 p.m. and he told me he, his wife, and our niece were evacuating, grabbing my in-laws (his parents) and getting the heck out of Dodge and we should do the same.

"I calmly walked downstairs and relayed this to my husband and without skipping a beat, we promptly packed up the kids (in their pjs), our dog, and scrambled to find our three cats as the power went out."

The singer reflects on the moment they had to figure out how to manually open the garage doors 'in the harrowing 60 mph winds, as the sky glowed a dark red and ash started to fall all around' then.

"We raced across town amidst fallen trees on the freeway to the safety of our dear friend’s place, got the kids down, and then I raced to Target to grab a litter box and some water, impulsively refreshing the watch duty app over and over," the post continues. "As we did all night. Over and over. Watching the evacuation zone narrow in on our little 8-block radius. It took until 4 a.m. for it to turn red. All the while, tossing and turning with a stomach-churning anxiety I’ve never experienced before, both boys passed out between us in bed. Lou slept on the floor in a travel crib, and the dog curled up protectively by the door."

Moore added the 'structure' of her and her family's home is 'still standing', but all the 'content' is 'a near total loss'. She has said she still feels 'exceedingly lucky', but added: "It goes without saying that our sweet brood and our pets are ALL that matters and home is where we are together… but having a sanctuary and safe space to feel settled really goes a long way too."

She resolved: "Real human beings across this town, regardless of their jobs or socioeconomic status, lost the life they’d come to know and count on in an instant. My whole heart is with them. Every one of them. This place, our home and the town itself, was our dream and I hope in time it will feel like that again… just a slightly different one."
