The percentage is 0.3 and all of these kids are clustered in Hollywood? I find this difficult to believe. Is it all a big coincidence?

There's no evidence all it's clustered in Hollywood. People talk more about celebrities, so you hear more stuff about them and their kids.

Psychologists refer to this as the availability heuristic

The availability heuristic is a mental shortcut that relies on immediate examples that come to a given person's mind when evaluating a specific topic, concept, method or decision.

This the the reason we do thing like overestimate dying due to terrorism and underestimate dying in a car crash or from a heart attack.

Do you remember the panicked over Ebola? Ever hear of people who won't go swimming after a shark attack occurs a thousand miles away? These are examples of this.
