Angelina Jolie's current focus is on helping her close friends and family affected by the Los Angeles fires… but she hasn't forgotten the community at large.
The actress was out in LA on Thursday evening picking up supplies with her son Knox – when a photographer asked her if she was at all worried about the fires.
Jolie — clearly in a rush to get home — says she's hosting people in her home… and that her main concern right now is her loved ones.
Still, AJ says she plans to make donations to help victims of the fires once she's sure her loved ones are taken care of.
Angelina lives in Los Feliz…an area near the Griffith Observatory in LA – centrally located in the city and not near the flames, so it makes sense that she opens her doors to friends and family.
The Pacific Palisades wildfire in West Los Angeles has been burning since Tuesday… and has burned more than 22,000 acres with no end in sight.
Numerous celebrities – including Billy Crystal, Spencer Pratt And Heidi Monday, John Goodman, Spelling candy, Jeff Bridges, Miles Teller, Paris Hilton and more – lost their homes in the fire.

The Palisades Fire is now threatening Brentwood – another affluent Los Angeles neighborhood – forcing another wave of evacuations. So far, more than 100,000 people have been evacuated in LA… and 11 are presumed dead.
Angelina clearly knows that people need help… and she plans to do what she can once she's sure her friends and family are safe.
