Don’t people have this attitude toward everyone, whether it is a celebrity or a writer or a relative?

Right but it's especially weird when directed toward celebrities, with whom they have no actual relationship and there's no plausible claim of reciprocal obligation.

Yes, but. It's a parasocial relationship but that's the reason they're celebrities in the first place so it is reciprocal but not regular social reciprocity. Without the parasociality, the other things that go with being a celebrity also wouldn't happen (concerts; movie deals...)
