Twitter response: Twitter users blasted Cameron and called him a 'growing pain'
'Kirk Cameron turned out to be a 'Growing Pain'. smh,' a Twitter user posted in response to the protest.
The Los Angeles native is best known for his portrayal of Mike Seaver on the ABC sitcom Growing Pains from 1985 to 1992.
Another Twitter user noted that Cameron had gone from Growing Pains to 'Breathing Pains'.
And Bette Nidler tweeted: '#KirkCameron has been organizing mask-less Christmas caroling in protest of COVID mandates. In SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, where there's 0% capacity in the ICUs. God, if you're really there, come collect your boy. He's sticking a finger in your eye!'
The evangelical Christian also was chastised on Twitter for hosting the gathering while coronavirus cases have been surging statewide.
But Cameron blasted any criticism on Wednesday night, telling Tucker Carlson's show: 'The lockdowns are causing far more harm than the virus themselves. There is immunity in community.
'We're not afraid of a virus that has over a 99 percent survival rate.'
He said he's had upwards of one thousand people come along to events.

The Christmas carol protest was held outdoors in a parking lot of The Oaks mall.
The Oaks Mall posted a statement on social media Tuesday saying the event was not authorized by the mall.
'We do not condone this irresponsible -- yet constitutionally protected -- peaceful protest event planned. We share your concern and have notified the Sheriff's office. As well, we have reached out to the event planner to ask that they do not use The Oaks as their venue,' the statement said.
Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer on Wednesday was asked about Cameron's Christmas caroling event with unmasked singers ignoring social distancing in Ventura County where COVID-19 cases have been spiking.
'I'm at a loss of words at this point. It's very irresponsible and very dangerous and it's unnecessary. We're in the middle of a pandemic,' Ferrer said according to Deadline.

Local news: The caroling protest Tuesday was covered as Breaking News by the local ABC station
Cameron earlier this month teamed up with Sing It Louder USA to host Sunday demonstrations voicing his frustration that California Governor Gavin Newsom has banned mass gatherings such as caroling into the holiday season.
California imposed a new regional stay-at-home order in early December that is based on ICU capacity and shuttered or restricted capacity levels for a huge swath of businesses.
Cameron has been married since 1991 to his Growing Pains co-star Chelsea Noble, 56, and they have six children together.
