Although the actor initially feared his home was lost in the flames that engulfed Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades neighborhood on Tuesday, Woods shared positive news when he returned to the property after being evacuated.

“A miracle happened,” Woods wrote on X, formerly Twitter, along with a video of the view from his deck.

“That’s our neighbor’s house,” Woods said, zooming in on the badly damaged house.

The video continued as Woods filmed the young man watering bushes and wood siding.

“Franjo, whose father we saved, is now putting out fires on our slope,” he said. In a previous X post, Woods described how he helped organize the evacuation of an elderly neighbor.

Jesus, look at this, Woods said. “Oh my god.”

In the following post, Woods thanked his fans for their support.

“So many nice messages from all of you,” he said. “I’m so happy and grateful, but honestly, the whole area looks like the dark side of the moon.

“It’s so fundamentally painful and upsetting that it’s almost hard to celebrate the good news that our home survived.”

In addition to Woods, a number of other stars revealed that their homes were spared from the devastating wildfires.

Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner confirmed that her home survived the Palisades fire when she returned to her neighborhood in Pacific Palisades to volunteer.

During an interview with MSNBC on Friday, the actress stood among the rubble as she reflected on the devastation.

My heart bleeds for my friends, Garner said. “I mean, I can remember 100 families, and 5,000 homes were lost. I can – even without [thinking] — I could easily write a list of 100 friends who lost their homes.

“I feel almost guilty as I walk past my house,” she added. “You know, what can I do? How can I help? What can I offer? What can I offer with these hands and these walls and the security I have?”

The “Alias” alum broke down in tears when she discovered one of her friends had died in the wildfires.

“I lost a friend, and for our church, it’s really tender. So I don’t feel like we need to talk about it yet,” Garner said. “I lost my friend. She didn’t come out on time.”

Molly Sims

Molly Sims’ home in Pacific Palisades was also still standing after wildfires swept through the area.

The actress shared a carousel of pictures on Instagram showing the fires and their aftermath, writing “Right now, our home is fine.”

“I say this with a heavy heart, knowing that so many cannot say the same,” she continued. “Our sweet community has experienced the UNIMAGINABLE, and my heart is broken. Whole neighborhoods, homes, schools, playgrounds, restaurants — places that held memories, laughter, and so much that made us who we are — are gone. My friends have lost everything. I can hardly describe in words the pain and destruction that surrounds us.”

Sims admired the solidarity she saw in the community and praised the first responders.

“Yet in the midst of this pain, I am truly amazed at the strength and unity that has emerged,” she wrote. “People have come together in ways I never thought possible – helping each other with shelter and care, offering support even when the weight of it all seems overwhelming.

“FIRST AIDERS and FIREFIGHTERS, who work tirelessly around the clock, even when they are exhausted, are nothing short of heroes. Their dedication saves lives and their courage is immeasurable. Know that they did EVERYTHING they could, we ran out from water.

“All these houses behind me burned to the ground where their families were enjoying wonderful moments together with their friends and family,” he added. “There’s a lot of pain going on right now. I’m doing everything I can to ease it.”

Guttenberg said he’s not sure how the film and TV industry will be able to help during the start of awards season.

“Everybody will do what ordinary people do – help each other, give each other food and water, help each other in their yards, in their backyards,” he said. “Even though someone is an actor, a producer, a writer, a director, we’re all just people. … Maybe at some point people can donate to some kind of fund. But I just think you should be a good neighbor right now.”
