Mandy Moore Shares Photos of House Damage from Los Angeles Fires, Says the ‘Main Structure’ Is Still Standing

Mandy Moore is one of the thousands of people affected by the devastating fires that continue to rage across Los Angeles, and the star took to Instagram to share videos and photos of the damage she and her community endured.

“I love you, Altadena. Grateful for my family and pets getting out last night before it was too late (and endless gratitude to friends for taking us in and bringing us clothes and blankets),” she wrote on Wednesday (Jan. 8) alongside videos of her neighborhood, engulfed in smoke and flames. “Honestly, I’m in shock and feeling numb for all so many have lost, including my family. My children’s school is gone. Our favorite restaurants, leveled. So many friends and loved ones have lost everything too. Our community is broken but we will be here to rebuild together. Sending love to all affected and on the front lines trying to get this under control.”

She followed-up with another series of photos the next, this time from her property, much of which was left as rubble. “We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing,” she wrote. “For now. It’s not livable but mostly intact.”

Moore continued, “Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone. My in laws. My brother and sister in law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends. Feeling weird survivors guilt. We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thanks for everyone for checking on us and offering us help. Altadena strong.”

She joins a number of celebrities who also lost their homes or sustained significant damage, including Jhené Aiko, Paris Hilton, Anna Faris, Spencer and Heidi Pratt, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody and Diane Warren, among others.

A series of wildfires broke out across Los Angeles this week, fanned by gust-like winds, leading to more than 200,000 evacuations. The Palisades Fire on the west side of the city has consumed more than 17,000 acres, while the Eaton Fire on the east burned more than 10,000 acres. Crews also fought the Sunset Fire on Wednesday night (Jan. 8) in the Runyon Canyon area of the Hollywood Hills, and the blaze led to the burning of dozens of acres of vegetation.
