In recent years, there has been an undeniable trend of California residents packing up and leaving, often fleeing to red states such as Texas and Florida. Celebrities are also increasingly leaving the Golden State as the quality of life deteriorates amid factors such as crime and an extraordinarily high cost of living.
Candace Cameron Bure, a former actress on the hit show “Full House,” recently moved out of Los Angeles, the city she was born in. Bure primarily cited “security reasons,” possibly from the surge in crime that has occurred in California over the past several years.
However, the actress also pointed out that with her children having moved out of Los Angeles, there was truly nothing tying Bure down to the city. She further highlighted her passion for traveling and exploring different “seasons of life” as a reason for seeking a change in environment.
“Many of you have asked, ‘Did you move?’ Yes,” she said on an Instagram Story she recently shared to her followers. “‘Why?’ Mostly for security reasons. Also, family dynamics have changed. The kids don’t live in Los Angeles anymore. Mama will go where they go! I travel a lot. The seasons of life.”
Bure’s daughter, Natasha, fled California for Texas, a move that is becoming increasingly popular, in August of last year. The 25-year-old explained that she wanted to leave the City of Angels to experience something new and escape her “little bubble.”
“It’s going to be a challenge for sure, but I think it’ll be a good challenge for me. I know the city really well,” she said about the move to the Lone Star state. “I have so many friends that I really love, but I want to get out of my comfort zone and try something new.”
She continued, “I want to meet new people. I want to learn lessons, I want to grow and I feel like where I am right now in my life, this is like the perfect opportunity to go and get out of my comfort zone and go do something that is different and that I normally wouldn’t do.”
It was also recently announced that Cameron Bure would star in an upcoming movie series, “Great American Mysteries.” The actress noted her anticipation to begin filming the mystery-themed movie filled with excitement and suspense.
“There’s nothing more exciting for me than being back in the cozy mystery genre,” Cameron Bure said in a statement to Deadline on February 27. “Mysteries are so fun to watch and to try to solve. I hope our faithful fans and audiences fall in love with the townspeople of Sweet River, Texas and Ainsley McGregor’s keen eye for solving mysteries.”
In 2022, Bure left the Hallmark Channel to join Great American Media, as the Chief Creative Officer, where she would have considerable involvement in the network’s content. “I’m very excited to develop heartwarming family and faith-filled programming and make the kind of stories my family and I love to watch,” Bure said. “I am constantly looking for ways that I can inspire people to live life with purpose. GAC fits my brand perfectly; we share a vision of creating compelling wholesome content for an audience who wants to watch programming for and with the whole family.”
