Activist actress Jane Fonda stepped out of her $6 million LA home on Saturday to denounce US military strikes against Iran.
Fonda — who lives in a luxury townhouse in Century City valued at about $5.45 million, has owned several high-profile properties over the years — temporarily left her home to join a protest outside City Hall.
Jane Fonda speaks during a demonstration against the war in Iran in front of City Hall in Los Angeles, Feb 28. ABC 7Addressing demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles, the 88-year-old blasted the administration’s actions.
“Right now we are witnessing the horror of an unnecessary, unprovoked war of choice waged by the Trump administration, a war that has already taken the lives of dozens of schoolchildren because they bombed a girls’ school in Iraq, among other civilian targets,” Fonda said, apparently erroneously mentioning neighboring Iraq as a bombing target instead of Iran.
She added the current moment feels hauntingly familiar, invoking memories of the Vietnam War, when American troops were sent into combat overseas.

A longtime anti-war advocate, Fonda told the crowd the issue transcends politics and directly affects human lives.
She also criticized what she described as “profit over people,” arguing that wars often benefit defense contractors, financial interests, and oil companies while ordinary families suffer the consequences.

Hundreds of demonstrators from Los Angeles’ Iranian-American community took to the streets Saturday to celebrate the US-Israeli airstrikes that killed Iran’s supreme leader.
“I want to cry. I want to scream. I want to dance. I want to laugh — but above all, I just want to celebrate,” said LA resident Shervin Khorramian, 55, waving an Iranian flag as he joined the elated crowd outside the Wilshire Federal Building in Westwood.
Demonstrators in Los Angeles — affectionately known as “Tehrangeles” because it’s home to the largest Iranian community in the US — marched outside the federal building waving American, Iranian and Israeli flags and holding posters thanking President Trump.
“I feel absolutely elated, and I feel hopeful,” Khorramian added. “For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful that this really could be the turning point for Iran.”
