The 54-year-old actress shared a series of photos in the California region, thanking the heroes “during this fire season,” and including images of the wildfires, some selfies with her husband François-Henri Pinault and a photo of the crew of firefighters in charge.

Salma is married to the French billionaire since 2009 and he owns numerous wine-producing properties in the area, specifically around Araujo Estate, which was heavily impacted by the fires.

The prestigious businessman purchased the exclusive Eisele Vineyard in 2012, famous for producing the signature Cabernet Sauvignon, currently priced between $200 and $400 a bottle.
