However, Jackson revealed that his “beautiful home did not survive the fires.” The actor concluded the statement on a positive note, stating, “But today, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the people I love.”
According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, a total of 40,306 acres have been burnt by the Palisades, Hurst, and Eaton fires. The department further reported that although assessments of damage for the Palisades and Eaton Fires are currently underway, more than 12,300 structures have currently been destroyed due to the fire. Out of the three active fires, the Palisades fire has caused significant damages as it has spread to over 23,000 acres of land with 13% containment. Firefighters are currently in a vital stage of their tireless battle against the devastating LA wildfires.
