Miracles happen! In some uplifting news from the Los Angeles wildfires, actor James Woods has confirmed that his house in Pacific Palisades survived the devastating blazes, which have ravaged much of the surrounding neighborhood.
“A miracle has happened,” Woods posted Friday on X. “We managed to get to our property and our home, that we were told is gone forever, is still standing.”
Woods added: “In this hellish landscape ‘standing’ is relative, but smoke and other damage is not like the utter destruction around us.”
Earlier this week, Woods was among hundreds of thousands around Los Angeles who were forced to evacuate as the fires spread and intensified. He has posted regular updates on X, showing charred ruins of homes near his, and had been convinced his house would fare no better.
“So many beautiful messages from all of you,” he posted later Friday. “I’m so happy and grateful, but honestly the entire area looks like the dark side of the moon.”
Numerous celebrities, from Paris Hilton to Billy Crystal, have confirmed their homes were lost or sustained damage in blazes burning in and around Los Angeles. At least 11 people have died, and thousands of structures and vehicles have been destroyed.
Meanwhile, firefighters worked tirelessly on Saturday to contain spreading wildfires before strong winds could reignite the threat, potentially pushing flames toward the iconic J. Paul Getty Museum and the University of California, Los Angeles. New evacuation warnings heightened concerns for homeowners already on edge.
