Child TV Star Rory Sykes Died Needlessly in LA Wildfires, Says Heartbroken Mum

Los Angeles: The heartbreaking story of Rory Sykes, a former child star, has come to light after he died in the recent wildfires. His mum, Shelley, said he died “needlessly” from carbon monoxide poisoning. Rory, who was 32, couldn’t escape his home as the flames closed in.

Shelley shared that she tried to reach emergency services but couldn’t get through. She even drove to the local fire station for help, but they told her they had no water. Sadly, by the time they returned, Rory’s cottage was already burned down.

Rory was born in the UK and appeared on the show Kiddy Kapers. He faced many challenges in life, including being blind and having cerebral palsy. Shelley expressed her heartbreak on social media, sharing how much she loved her son and how he had overcome so much.

The wildfires have claimed 16 lives so far, and many celebrities have been affected. Paris Hilton even started a fund to help families displaced by the fires after witnessing her own home burn on live TV. It’s a tough time for many in the community as they deal with the aftermath of this tragedy.
