In 2011, Williams moved his family from Los Angeles to Ojai. According to the actor, he decided primarily to protect his children. Williams recalls the “dangerous moment” that occurred in the country. He wanted to move somewhere where his children would have a good experience.
The family had a special place in their hearts for Ojai as they spent many weekends there before settling down permanently. After moving, Williams and his family experienced a significant increase in security.
Williams believed his family was no longer safe in Los Angeles after encountering a personal problem there. The incident occurred after he was diagnosed with cancer and spent a month in the hospital.
