While the Thousand Oaks area was mourning the mass shooting at Borderline Bar and Grill, a series of wildfires broke out in the surrounding areas. Yelich was among the MLB players from the area and who shared posts on social media from his home as smoke filled the air.
Turner, his wife Kourtney, and The Dream Center Los Angeles donated supplies to those who were impacted by the fires.
