Hollywood actor James Woods is beyond devastated after losing his property to the raging inferno sweeping across Los Angeles.
Woods, who gave his followers on social media updates on the Pacific Palisades wildfire, recently had an interview where he broke down in tears while recounting how he and his family evacuated their home.
This comes after James Woods hit back at trolls over comments that he lost his home because of “Climate Change” while seemingly being a climate denier.
James Woods Breaks Down In Tears Over His Burnt Down Los Angeles Home
Woods, like many, had to flee Pacific Palisades due to a shocking wildfire, aided by fierce winds, that burnt down homes in the affluent neighborhood.
During a chat with CNN, the actor discussed the disaster and recalled how he and his loved ones fled the terrifying scene.
“One day you’re swimming in the pool and the next day it’s all gone,” Woods said to CNN’s Pamela Brown.
He shared how chaotic the evacuation process was and how he had to assist his neighbor, who is 94 and has dementia, to get to a safe location.
“He’d been left alone,” the actor recounted. “There was so much chaos, it was like an inferno. Every house was on fire around us.”
Woods, who was already crying at this point, noted, “I thought I would be stronger than this.”
To console the actor, Brown said, “Strength is not measured by whether you hold in crying … strength is what you are doing now in helping your neighbors and shining a light on the great, amazing work of all those firefighters and emergency crews.”
The Actor Evacuated His Home
Woods was one of the most active celebrities on social media when reports of the inferno initially started coming out.
He shares photos and videos taken at his now-burned-down home to show fans the vicious fires.
At some point, the actor confirmed to his followers that he and his family were away from the disaster while showing appreciation for his fans’ concerns.
“To all the wonderful people who’ve reached out to us, thank you for being so concerned. Just letting you know that we were able to evacuate successfully,” Woods wrote in a post on X.
He added at the time, “I do not know at this moment if our home is still standing, but sadly, houses on our little street are not.”
Woods also held out hope that his home would survive the inferno, as he noted that his home had sprinklers that could be controlled remotely.
On X, he wrote: “We cleared and built pathways on our hillside with sprinkler systems that can be remotely managed. We also did brush clearance per local fire prevention mandates.”
