Retired actress, Dalyce Curry, known for her roles in films such as ‘The Blues Brothers,’ ‘The Ten Commandments,’ and ‘Lady Sings the Blues,’ has died in the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, as reported by Forbes, on Monday.

She was 95 years old.

Authorities confirmed that Curry’s remains were found at her burned-down property in Altadena, California.

According to her great-granddaughter, Dalyce Kelley, Curry was last seen on the evening of January 7 when Kelley dropped her off at home.

The following morning, Kelley attempted to check on her but was unable to pass police barricades near the area.

The family searched for Curry at the Pasadena Civic Centre, which had been set up as a shelter for displaced residents, but she was not located.

Days later, officials confirmed that her remains were discovered at the site of her destroyed home.
