Actor James Woods says his house in Pacific Palisades has survived the Los Angeles wildfires that had devastated much of his 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.”
Earlier in the week, Woods told CNN he believed his house was likely lost in the blaze.
He later accused California Democrats, Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass, of mismanaging the natural disaster.
“This fire is not from ‘climate change,’ you ignorant asshole,” he wrote in a Wednesday reply to a user on X. “It’s because liberal idiots like you elect liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass.”
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.
