Actor Joshua Jackson, known for his role as Dr. Miranda Bailey on Grey’s Anatomy and Topanga Lawrence on Boy Meets World, has lost his home in the ongoing Palisades Fire in Southern California. The fire, which began Tuesday, has destroyed thousands of structures and killed at least 16 people.
In a statement to Deadline, Jackson confirmed that his daughter and family members were safe but his home did not survive the fires. He expressed gratitude for being surrounded by loved ones amidst the devastating situation.
The wildfires have affected several areas in Los Angeles County, including Pacific Palisades, Eaton Canyon, Malibu, and the Hollywood Hills. At least 105,000 people have received mandatory evacuation orders, while another 87,000 are under warning. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has reported 29 arrests related to the fires.
President Joe Biden extended his visit to California to address first responders and those affected by the wildfires.
