On Friday, Jan. 17, an uplifting message was posted toThe Simpsons’sInstagram account.

In the photo, the entire Simpsons family — Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and pets Snowball and Santa’s Little Helper — stand in front of their home in the fictional town of Springfield.

Marge and Homer hold a banner that reads “We Love You LA,” while Bart holds a smaller one that reads, “Palisades, Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Topanga, Malibu and everyone impacted,” along with a heart in the corner.

In Lisa’s hands are goldenCalifornia poppies, the state flower. Malibu’s Point Mugu State Park is a popular destination to see the Super Bloom, an explosion of wildflowers.

In another nod to the city, Maggie’s teddy bear is wearing an L.A. Dodgers jersey.
