More than 92,000 people have signed a Change.org petition as of Sunday morning demanding the resignation of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass as wildfires in the area continue to rage on. 

The petition was started by a user named “Frustrated Californian” who accused Bass of “gross mismanagement” during the natural disaster crisis, and even called her out for not being in the country when the fires started.

Bass took major heat for traveling overseas to Ghana last week, which meant she was thousands of miles away from her city during the initial day of the destruction on Tuesday. 

“Water supplies have been severely strained, billions of taxpayer dollars have been misallocated or left unaccounted for, and countless lives have been lost,” the petition reads. 

Prior to drawing intense public scrutiny for her response to handling the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, Bass was held in the highest esteem by the Democratic Party’s most prominent figures.

President Biden once considered Bass to be a top contender for his vice presidential running mate in 2020, while former President Barack Obama previously predicted that she would be an “outstanding mayor” of the city.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Patricia Heaton and Jillian Michaels are among vocal celebrities providing government officials with scathing reviews.

“This disaster did not come out of left field,” Aurora Culpo, host of the podcast “Barely Filtered,” told Fox News Digital. “We were well aware of the possibility for fire, and we had the preparedness of a third world country in a place that pays some of the highest taxes in the world. Those in power should be forced to take responsibility and resign.”

FOX News’ Gabriel Hays and Gabrielle Regalbuto contributed to this report.
