Candace Cameron Bure prefers small-town living over the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
The “Full House” star took to Instagram on Thursday to talk about her move away from Los Angeles and why she’s loving her new home.
When a fan asked the actress why she said goodbye to Southern California, Bure replied: “I still love SoCal, but L.A. is certainly not the same since growing up there and especially since 2020.”

“It’s amazing what people feel they can do,” she continued. “And wanting to be a part of your life in some way. Some of it is innocent, some of it wasn’t. But it’s quite unnerving when you’re just trying to be a person and live life, and you don’t know what’s around the corner.”
Bure previously confirmed on Instagram that she had officially left Los Angeles.

“Many of you have asked, ‘Did you move?’ Yes,” she wrote. “‘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.”
