He added: Thank you to everyone who came to my rescue in the last 48 hours. I am truly blessed to be surrounded with so much love and I am so grateful for all of you, especially the staff at the @barfieldH๏τel in Amarillo, who took me in like family and team @jlo and Office Romance, who got me safely home from Texas without question. I love you all.’

‘On Monday, I was halfway home to LA, when my trip abruptly ended.’

The hair professional, who operates out of New York City and Los Angeles, said that he doesn’t ‘talk about it much publicly, but the last two years have been extremely challenging for’ him.

‘There were many days I didn’t think I’d make it and I simply wanted to give up and disappear. 

‘Instagram can paint a pretty picture of what we think someone’s life is, but there’s always more to the story.’

The celeb stylist has also worked on shows such as Sneaky Pete and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

He said that ‘behind all the polished posts and achievements, are sleepless nights, struggles, and tears,’ which prompts a need for ‘compᴀssion and community more than ever before.’

He added: ‘I think it’s important to discuss, especially during this time in our industry when so many are still suffering in the wake of the strike and the devastating fires that ravaged our beloved town.’

Moe said that he was ’till processing what happened on Monday’ but ultimately ‘grateful’ he wasn’t physically injured in the dangerous incident.

Said the hairstylist: ‘Life is so fragile, and to walk away from this incident without injury is truly a miracle. My entire outlook on life has changed for the better and in a strange way, I feel reborn.’

Moe said he ‘was given the gift of perspective Monday’ and … ‘will never take the little things in life for granted ever again.

He said the key lesson gleaned from the incident was to live in the moment.

‘Life is happening right now,’ Moe said. ‘Embrace the present, live your life with purpose, and LOVE freely & fully, because we only get one chance to do this.’

The If You Had My Love singer, 55, paid homage to another hairdresser she was close with personally and professionally – by the name of Jesus Guerrero – following his death at 34 on February 22.

‘It’s no surprise your mother gave you the name Jesus. You were gentle and kind and loving, quiet and unᴀssuming, but so powerful, and your presence was felt the minute you walked into any room,’ the actress, who’s been seen in films such as Selena and Hustlers, said on Instagram in February.

The Waiting for Tonight singer added, ‘You never demanded the spotlight. You never needed to make a sound to be recognized, your heart and your talent did that as effortlessly as your artistry did.’

J.Lo added, ‘I’ve been having trouble putting the words together the last few days.

‘The truth is I’m still in shock that such a beautiful young life has come to an end. It seems senseless and unfair. I know your family is brokenhearted as am I and everyone else who knew you.’

The I’m Real artist wrapped things up in saying: ‘Your spirit moved on to the next phase beyond this life but I know wherever you are there is beauty and light. And the beauty and light you left here will live on forever. Rest in peace, sweet angel…”

Elsewhere, Lopez and ex-husband Ben Affleck have been the focal point of reports that they are clashing over the sale of the Beverly Hills mansion they used to live in.

Lopez – who made headlines Sunday with a social media post – ‘thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is,’ an insider told Us Weekly Saturday.

Affleck feels that due to the circumstances economically – and his desire to move on from the situation – they should sell as soon as they can.

‘Ben just wants to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and have it be done,’ the source told the outlet.

The source said that at the current time, ‘the real estate market is not there and It’s not selling.’ 

Affleck ‘just wants it over and to sell it,’ the insider said, noting that the Argo actor-director even wants to ‘reduce the price’ to get it to move quicker.

Affleck and Lopez initially sought to sell the Beverly Hills estate, which they had bought about a year before, in July of2024.

The former couple asked for $68 million from the home – $8 million more than what they paid for it when they purchased it in June 2023.

Lopez’s August 20, 2024 divorce filing came after months of speculation swirling around the relationship between the A-list singer-actress and actor-director.

Lopez filed the documents on the two-year anniversary of their nuptials at Affleck’s estate outside of Savannah, Georgia on August 20, 2022.

Lopez and Affleck made headlines in 2021 when they rekindled their romance, nearly 17 years after calling off their original engagement and postponing their September 2003 wedding.
