Blues Brothers actress Dalyce Curry has died, per TMZ. She was 95.

According to reports, Curry's remains were found after her home burned down in Altadena amid the severe wildfires devastating the Los Angeles area.

Curry's granddaughter confirmed the actress' death in a Facebook post, saying she last saw her grandmother after dropping her off at her Altadena home on Tuesday (January 7). Later that day, the Eaton Fire broke out east of Los Angeles, destroying buildings and forcing residents to evacuate in Altadena and Pasadena.

The granddaughter said she went back to check on Curry the next day but was turned away by authorities, who had barricaded the area. An officer told Curry's granddaughter that her property was destroyed and advised her to look for her grandmother at a nearby civic center that was housing displaced residents.

After Curry's granddaughter was unable to find the actress, authorities confirmed on Sunday (January 12) that the 95-year-old died inside her burning home.

Curry, who also appeared in Lady Sings the Blues and The 10 Commandments, is among at least 24 victims who have died in the Los Angeles wildfires.

Rest in peace, Dalyce Curry.
