Mandy Moore’s social media post
On Wednesday evening, Mandy Moore posted a couple of videos of the fires and smoke engulfing the highway near Los Angeles as she and her family made it out. “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 in the caption.
The actor then detailed the loss she and her neighbourhood had. “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,” wrote Mandy.
In her Instagram Stories, the actor added, “So gutted for the destruction and loss. Don’t know if our place made it.”
Other celebs who lost their homes
Mandy Moore is not the only celebrity affected by the LA wildfires. Scores of others have evacuated their homes with some losing their houses altogether, while others are unsure if their homes have survived the fires or not.

Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, Fergie, Anna Faris, Anthony Hopkins, and John Goodman also reported losing their homes as the devastating fire rages in Los Angeles. Ben Affleck also evacuated his newly-bought bachelor pad in the area and went to ex wife, Jennifer Garner’s home for shelter.
