Steve Kerr’s mother among those who lost their home to the blazes
The 90-year-old mother of Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is among thousands who have lost their homes as fierce wildfires rage in the Los Angeles area.
“My mom is in good hands, but her house is gone,” Kerr said Thursday night before the Warriors played the Detroit Pistons. “I’ve been on the phone with my siblings quite a bit.”
Kerr said his mother, Ann, left her home in Pacific Palisades — Kerr’s hometown — after the evacuation orders earlier in the week.
