Joshua Jackson, who has a 4-year-old daughter named Juno with ex Jodie Turner-Smith, provided a heartfelt update after the devastating Los Angeles wildfires destroyed his home in Topanga Canyon.

Despite losing a residence he cherished for over two decades, Jackson expressed gratitude. Amidst this tragedy, he confirmed that he and his daughter, along with their loved ones, are safe.

"First and most importantly, all the people closest to me affected by the fire are okay," Joshua stated in a Jan. 12 message to Deadline. "My daughter, my family, my neighbors all made it out safely. Sadly my beautiful home did not survive the fires. But today, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the people I love."

A Deep Connection to Home

The "Doctor Odyssey" star had repurchased his childhood home in 2001, reflecting on its significance. "My father unfortunately was not a good father or husband and exited the scene," he explained in a July 2021 interview with Mr. Porter. "But that house in Topanga was where everything felt simple, so it was a very healing thing for me to do."

After welcoming Juno, the actor noted that she slept in his childhood bedroom. "There was a mural of a dragon on the wall that I couldn’t believe was still there," he recounted. "The owner said, ‘I knew it meant a lot to somebody and that they were going to come back for it someday.’"

The fires have devastated parts of Southern California, with at least 16 reported fatalities, according to NBC News.

Reflections from Fellow Celebrities

Joshua is not alone in facing this loss. Other celebrities like Anna Faris, Billy Crystal, and Melissa Rivers have also spoken out about the destruction of their homes. Melissa shared her heartbreak, recalling a split-second decision to save cherished items connected to her family.

"That is the end of everything that belonged to my family," she lamented to CNN on Jan. 8.

"I grabbed my mom's Emmy, a photo of my dad, and a drawing my mother had done of me and my son. I know I can find the photos, but a drawing I can't replace."

Melissa voiced her sentiment, saying, "My heart is so broken, not just for myself. It's a town and it’s wiped off the map."

Earlier, SSP reported that Tim Allen discussed Jonathan Taylor Thomas’s possible cameo in Shifting Gears.
