Mandy Moore is facing a devastating loss.
The This Is Us star shared an update about her “home” on Instagram amid the ongoing Fires on the afternoon of Wednesday Jan. 8.
“This is Altadena. Leveled. My sweet home. I am devastated and gutted for those of us who’ve lost so much. I’m absolutely numb,” she wrote over a video showing scorched and still-burning buildings she passed while driving down the road in the northeast L.A. neighborhood.
It was not immediately clear whether Moore’s personal home was destroyed, but her community has unquestionably been devastated. A representative for Moore did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Moore, 40, had previously shared via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Jan. 8 that she and her family had evacuated and didn’t know if their house had survived.
“Praying for everyone in our beautiful city. So gutted for the destruction and loss. Don’t know if our place made it,” Moore wrote, alongside a photo of herself sitting with her son Ozzie.

“Grateful for the kindness of friends that we had a place to land last night. Trying to shield the kids from the immense sadness and worry I feel,” Moore continued.
The actress lives with her husband Taylor Goldsmith, 39, and their kids, August “Gus” Harrison, 3, Oscar “Ozzie” Bennett, 2, and 3-month-old Louise Everett and is just one of tens of thousands of families who had to evacuate their homes.
Moore had recently completed a 6-year complete renovation of the property.
The actress often shared her passion for interior design and the progress on her home project on social media, including an update that it was nearly complete and just receiving its finishing touches in February 2023. Moore’s previous home in Pasadena California was featured on the cover of Architectural Digest in 2018.
