Travel restrictions prompted the delays of many flights in the Caribbean, including that of DiCaprio. He and many other influencers, celebrities and billionaires were present in the region, enjoying different start-of-the-year parties and beach getaways hosted by notorious DJs and others.
DiCaprio was scheduled to appear at the Palm Springs Film Festival on January 3rd. He was being honored with the Desert Palm Achievement Award for "One Battle After Another," the film expected to receive many Oscar nominations in the near future.
The festival issued a statement explaining his absence, sharing that he wouldn't be able to appear due to "unexpected travel disruptions and restricted airspace."

DiCaprio accepted his recognition with a recorded message, advocating for audiences to prioritize the cinematic experience.
“I wish I was there to celebrate with all of you. I’m truly grateful to be a part of it, even from the distance,” he said.
“Movies are still meant to be experienced together, in a theater. Right now, that belief matters more than ever," he said. "Original films are harder to make and harder to protect. But movies still matter — not content, but cinema. Stories made by people meant to be shared in a dark room in a communal experience.”
