Legendary entertainer Jay Leno is giving back to Los Angeles first responders who are working to protect California communities from raging wildfires.

Leno joined "Your World" Wednesday to talk about his efforts to cook and serve meals to first responders.

"You all do your best," the former late-night host told Fox News anchor Sandra Smith. “I just help out, do my best and have fun, and they’re very grateful.”

California wildfires: Basic phone numbers for Los Angeles area residents and how to help them

It's been a week since massive and deadly wildfires broke out in the Los Angeles area, forcing tens of thousands of residents to flee their homes and destroying homes and businesses.

Officials said at least 24 people have been confirmed dead, with the number expected to rise. Dozens of people are still reported missing.

"It's weird because it's 80 degrees. It's a beautiful day. I mean, their hell and heaven are just a few feet apart," Leno said.

"You think of Malibu - they name cars and perfume after it, it's sexy people. And now it's like charred rubble. It's unbelievable, but it's still a great day. So you have It’s this weird dichotomy.”

Smaller fires have broken out since Monday, but heroic efforts by firefighters prevented them from spreading to the Palisades and Eaton fires, which caused most of the damage.

Leno praised the fire department's efforts, saying "the Los Angeles Fire Department is probably the best in the world."

"This is truly the largest military operation ever undertaken. It's truly amazing," he added.

"The best thing is, I've heard no political discussion the past four days. No one is blaming this or that. They're putting out fires. These people don't have an opinion. I'm sure they do, but it's not an issue." At this point on, what do we need to do to fix this problem, and while everyone else in Los Angeles is blaming these people, these are the people who are actually doing something and fixing this problem. "

While state and local leaders have faced a torrent of criticism, Leno said the "silver lining" in this "terrible tragedy" is the "sense of community that has come out of it."

"We're going to rebuild it," Leno said. "It's sad that something like this needs to be done to bring everyone together, but that's what's needed sometimes."
