With at least four wildfires in Los Angeles raging on with no end in sight, Hollywood actor, Billy Crystal, and his wife, Janice, are mourning the loss of their home.
In a statement to CNN, Billy Crystal shared that he and his wife had been staying in the same home since 1979, adding that they raised their kids and grandkids there.
"Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away,” he said.
Apart from Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore, Anna Farris, and Ricki Lane's abodes were all impacted by the Pacific Palisades fire.
Billy Crystal says there are no words to express the "enormity of the devastation we are witnessing"
Speaking with CNN, Billy Crystal said:
“Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing. We ache for our friends and neighbors who have also lost their homes and businesses in this tragedy.”
Billy Crystal also expressed his grievances with the loss of his home and the dire situation his community has been going through:
"We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this. We pray for the safety of the firefighters and first responders. The Pacific Palisades is a resilient community of amazing people and we know in time it will rise again. It is our home.”
Dianne Warren, an Oscar-winning songwriter, also took to Instagram to share her woes, revealing that her home of 30 years was nearly decimated in the inferno:
"There’s a rainbow shining on it which I’m taking as a sign of hope for all creatures who have been affected by this tragedy,” she penned. “The animals and the rescue ranch are OK tho which is the most important thing. Stay safe everyone.”
Lake, an actor and former talk show host, also took to Instagram this Wednesday to reveal that she almost lost her “dream home," noting that it's "all gone." Accompanied by a carousel of images from her time at the property, her caption read:
"I can’t believe I am typing these words. After a valiant and brave effort by our friend and hero @kirbykotler_ Ross and I lost our dream home. This description ‘dream home’ doesn’t suffice. It was our heaven on earth. The place where we planned to grow old together. We never took our heavenly spot on the bluff overlooking our beloved malibu for granted, not even for one second. I shared our sunset 🌅 views almost daily with all of you."
Her statement went on, noting that the "loss is immeasurable," as it was the spot where she and her husband got married just three years ago.
"I grieve along with all of those suffering during this apocalyptic event. Praying for all of my neighbors, my friends, my community, the animals, the firefighters and first responders," Lake shared.

The fires first broke out on Tuesday, and an intense windstorm contributed to its quick spread to the greater Los Angeles area. The Pacific Palisades and the Eaton Canyon took the brunt of it. By Wednesday night, another fire broke out in the Hollywood Hills, culminating in the closure of icons like TLC Chinese Theater and the Magic Castle.
