Dalyce Curry, beloved for her roles in Blues Brothers, Lady Sings the Blues, and The 10 Commandments, has tragically passed away at the age of 95. Her incredible body of work across a range of memorable performances has left an enduring imprint on the silver screen, and her death marks the end of an era for classic cinema.
According to TMZ, Dalyce Curry’s remains were tragically discovered after her home in Altadena was engulfed and destroyed by a devastating wildfire. The fire, which ravaged the area, claimed her residence, and it was only after the smoke cleared that her remains were found, adding another layer of heartbreak to the actress’s passing.
The horrifying incident occurred as the Eaton Fire, an uncontrollable force of nature, swept through regions east of Los Angeles, decimating homes and triggering mass evacuations in Altadena and Pasadena. The fire’s destructive path caused chaos and uncertainty, leaving behind a trail of loss and displacement for many families in its wake.
In a deeply moving post on Facebook, Curry’s granddaughter confirmed the tragic news of her grandmother’s passing. She reflected on the last time they were together—Tuesday, January 7—when she had dropped her off at her Altadena residence, a memory now laced with sorrow as she processes the loss.

Later that day, the wildfire erupted, causing chaos and destruction throughout the region.
When the granddaughter returned the following day to check on Dalyce Curry, she was unable to access the area due to police barricades.
An officer informed her that the property had been destroyed and directed her to a nearby civic center sheltering displaced residents.
After an exhaustive search yielded no sign of Curry, authorities confirmed on Sunday, January 12, that the beloved actress had perished inside her home during the fire.
Curry’s passing marks one of at least 24 fatalities linked to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Her contributions to the film industry and the memories she leaves behind will not be forgotten.
