Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti flee Los Angeles wildfires on private jet despite climate activism

Leonardo DiCaprio and his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti were spotted arriving in Mexico on a private jet amid the devastating LA fires.

More than 100,000 individuals have been relocated, and numerous celebrities like Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have witnessed the destruction of their residences. However, on Friday, DiCaprio was observed arriving in Cabo San Lucas.

Given Leo’s well-known stance as an advocate for the environment, there was surprise that he opted for a private jet during a significant natural disaster impacting his own community.

As the creator of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, the 50-year-old Academy Award winner has supported grants exceeding $80 million that concentrate on climate change and sustainability efforts.

Dressed in a casual hoodie and baseball cap, Leo appeared unfazed as he stepped off the plane alongside Ceretti, 26, who wore an all-black ensemble. 

The couple, who have been linked since 2023, were accompanied by Leo’s father George DiCaprio and George’s wife Peggy Ann Farrar.

While more than 100,000 people have been evacuated and several of his A-list peers, including Tom Hanks , Anthony Hopkins , and Julia Louis-Dreyfus , have seen their homes destroyed , DiCaprio was seen landing in Cabo San Lucas on Friday

Also spotted arriving at the Cabo airport on Friday was Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David. 

As the fires continue to rage, many other Hollywood heavyweights are left grappling with the heartbreaking loss of their homes.

However, some have been luckier—Tom Hanks, Kate Hudson, Mark Hamill, and others saw their properties escape the flames.

Leo’s getaway comes after he treated his 81-year-old dad George —who once famously founded a waterbed business—to a visit at the exclusive Bird Street Club in West Hollywood in December. 

Though the lunch date was brief, it’s clear Leo and George share a strong bond.

Despite separating from Leo’s mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, shortly after his birth, George played an active role in his son’s upbringing.

Once a struggling installer of asbestos and fireproof roofing, George pivoted to entrepreneurship with the launch of a waterbed business, aptly named Foggy Bottom.

Married to Peggy Ann Farrar since 1995, George originally met Irmelin in 1963 when she was studying to be a legal secretary in New York. 

Given Leo’s reputation as an environmental advocate , it raised eyebrows that he would take a private jet during such a major natural disaster affecting his own community

The couple married and moved to Los Angeles, but by 1974, when Irmelin was pregnant, their relationship was unraveling. 

They took one last trip to Florence, where a kick from baby Leo while admiring a Da Vinci painting at the Uffizi Gallery inspired Irmelin to name her son after the Renaissance master.

Back in Hollywood, George and Irmelin separated but co-parented closely, renting adjacent bungalows with a shared garden to raise Leo.

Meanwhile, Leo and Vittoria stirred speculation earlier this year when Vittoria sported a heart-shaped diamond ring during a romantic Italian getaway.

However, reports later revealed she’s owned the ring since 2022, well before her romance with the Hollywood star began. 

Still, the couple’s relationship keeps fans talking—just like Leo, who continues to be as fascinating off-screen as he is on it.
