Julian Sands: Who is the Hollywood British actor missing in California?
The search for Julian Sands has entered its 11th day amid a warning of strong winds and gusts of up to 62 to 67mph.
In the latest update, the Warlock star’s family has thanked California authorities for their “heroic” efforts in the search for the missing British actor.
“Our heartfelt thanks to the compassionate members of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department who are coordinating the search for our beloved Julian, not least the heroic search teams listed below who are braving difficult conditions on the ground and in the air to bring Julian home,” the statement read.
On 23 January, the National Weather Service reported high winds affecting the Santa Ana mountain region and San Bernandino, close to the San Gabriel mountains where Sands is believed to have gone missing. An alert warned of possible power outages, travel disruption, and the risk of falling trees.
Last week, Sands’ family released the last known images of him mountaineering, telling The Independent: “This is how he would love to be seen, doing what he loved best – a heroic mountaineer.”
Sands’ family have shared a statement thanking authorities for the “heroic” search effort, which is still ongoing.

Sands’ brother Nick says he ‘knows in his heart’ sibling is no longer alive
A brother of Julian Sands has said that he “knows in his heart” that his sibling is no longer alive.
Nick Sands, who lives in Gargrave, Yorkshire, and last saw his brother in October, told the local Craven Herald newspaper: “He has not yet been declared missing, presumed dead, but I know in my heart that he has gone. However sibling rivalry being what it is, it would be just like him to walk out of there and prove me wrong.
“On Monday, he had planned to join his brothers for our Monday Club for a beer in Skipton; he will be missed, and I guess we will raise a glass to him.”
He added: “When in LA, the Mt Baldy mountain range was his favourite place, he would go there as often as he could, Julian liked to say ‘I have never had a holiday but I do rest occasionally’ – well he’s resting now in a place he would truly approve of.”
