Mandy Moore posted a livid message to her Insta Stories, saying she and her family were struck by a hit-and-run driver this week.
The 41-year-old actress and her musician husband Taylor Goldsmith have three small children, sons Gus, four, and Ozzie, two, and daughter Louise, 10 months.
Firing up her Instagram, she wrote: ‘The the woman who rear ended my family and then drove off and then drove off as we pulled over, hope your karma finds you [sic].’
Reassuring fans who were worried about her and her loved ones’ safety, she added: ‘Thankfully everyone was ok but what kind of human does that?’
She and her family have endured a turbulent year in which their home in Altadena, California was damaged so badly by the Los Angeles fires as to be uninhabitable.
Subsequently, Mandy was criticized for promoting a GoFundMe for her in-laws who also lost a home to the blaze, as trolls noted her own rumored $14 million net worth.

As the fires ravaged Los Angeles County, Mandy shared on Instagram that the garage and guesthouse of her Altadena property had been destroyed.
‘Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing,’ shared the A Walk to Remember actress. ‘For now. It’s not livable but mostly intact.’
Amid the spiraling crisis, Mandy also revealed that her brother-in-law Griffin Goldsmith and his wife Kit had lost their house weeks before their baby was due.
Left without a home, Mandy, her husband, her children and her in-laws moved in with Hilary Duff and the latter’s husband Matthew Koma.
However Mandy then came under fire online when she shared a GoFundMe set up by Matthew to help Griffin and Kit recover from their losses.
‘Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums/percussion he uses to make a living,’ Mandy noted while plugging the crowdfunding page.
Online trolls lambasted her, wondering why she was asking others to contribute to her family inasmuch as her own net worth was speculated to be $14 million.
Mandy defiantly struck back, fuming at her critics: ‘People questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic.’
She insisted: ‘Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this go fund me and I’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything.’
In May, she expressed her frustration at what she regarded as the county’s sclerotic bureaucracy for getting in the way of her own home reconstruction efforts.
‘Thanks LA County for making it frustrating and impossible to rebuild after the fires as possible,’ she wrote on her Insta Stories, adding that she ‘shouldn’t be surprised but it’s mind boggling the red tape and hoops they’re putting us all through.’
