“Even though Joshua Jackson‘s home was destroyed in the Los Angeles wildfires, the actor says he feels “incredibly lucky.” “First and most importantly, all the people closest to me affected by the fire are OK,” he said in a statement shared via his rep. “My daughter, my family, my neighbors all made it out safely.”, — write: www.hollywoodreporter.com
“First and most importantly, all the people closest to me affected by the fire are OK,” he said in a statement shared via his rep. “My daughter, my family, my neighbors all made it out safely. Sadly my beautiful home did not survive the fires. But today, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the people I love.”
Jackson’s Topanga Canyon home, which he bought in 2001, was one of those destroyed by the Palisades Fire, which broke out Tuesday morning. It has burned through some 23,000 acres.
At least 24 people have died in the fires, with 16 more missing. The biggest fires are the Palisades Fire, which is near Brentwood, and the Eaton Fire. As of Sunday morning, 11 percent of the Palisades fire and 27 percent of the Eaton fire had been contained.
Jackson is not the only Hollywood figure who has lost their home amid the fires. Mandy Moore, Anna Faris, Paris Hilton, Bozoma Saint John, Jeff Bridges, Billy Crystal, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Cary Elwes, Diane Warren, Cameron Mathison, Ricki Lake, Jhené Aiko and record producer Lou Adler also have lost their homes.
TMZ has reported that the homes of Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Eugene Levy, John Goodman and Anthony Hopkins have also burned down. (The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to their respective reps to confirm.)
