Why Candace Cameron Bure fled LA after childhood fame

Everywhere you look, everywhere you go.

“Full House” star Candace Cameron Bure has opened up about why she decided to flee Los Angeles for a small Northern California town following her childhood fame on the beloved sitcom.

“I still love SoCal, but L.A. is certainly not the same since growing up there and especially since 2020,” Bure, 49, explained on Instagram Thursday. “We love living in a smaller town where people really do know your name (not because I’m on TV).”

The Hallmark alum, who grew up in Panorama City before kicking off her career in the Hollywood spotlight, added that the shift to a small town was an easy decision.

“And this beauty?! What’s not to love?!” she wrote alongside a pic of her new home.

Bure, who reprised her role as D.J. Tanner for the show’s “Fuller House” sequel series on Netflix from 2016 to 2020, previously discussed her move away from LA last April.

At the time, she said that security reasons played a major role in the decision.

“We didn’t feel safe anymore,” she told Fox News Digital. “And that was the biggest reason that we moved. Not everyone in Hollywood lives behind guard gates, and we weren’t behind gates.”

“We had quite a few problems over the years,” Bure continued. “People taking photos, hiding on our property and coming up to our door. It’s amazing what people feel they can do. And wanting to be a part of your life in some way.”

She added that it was “quite unnerving” trying to “live life” when you “don’t know what’s around the corner.”

However, Bure later clarified that another reason she fled LA was because her “family dynamics changed” and her children no longer lived in the city.

The “Full House” alum and her husband, Valeri Bure, 51, share three kids: daughter Natasha, 27, and sons Lev, 25, and Maksim, 23.

“Mama will go where they go!” she said on Instagram in 2024. “I travel a lot. The seasons of life.”

Bure, meanwhile, got candid about her husband and children back in July during an episode of her “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast.”

Although the actress and retired hockey star have been married for nearly 30 years, she revealed that they “went through a really, really rough season in our marriage” back in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

“It was going south quickly, and we were like, ‘I don’t know, don’t think … we’re gonna make it through,’” Bure explained.

However, the couple’s three children helped save their marriage in the end.

“There was a lot more to it, but it’s a whole different scenario when your kids sit you down to have a talk and go, ‘Are you being as mature as you can be?’” Bure shared. “I’m so grateful to Lev and Maks and Natasha. They were so supportive of everything.”

More recently, the Great American Media exec made headlines when she was body-shamed online after posting a photo of herself in a swimsuit.

Bure ultimately pulled the pic, and she later addressed the surprising incident.

“It wasn’t about my bathing suit or my body. But the comments became flooded with people discussing my body,” she said earlier this month.

“It wasn’t worth it. I took it down,” Bure concluded.
