Hollywood’s biggest celebrities are picking up the pieces after discovering their affluent Los Angeles neighborhood was reduced to ash and rubble when the California wildfires tore through the Pacific Palisades.
The death toll of the historic infernos have now reached five, as heroic firefighters still battle hellish conditions on the front lines of at least five different fires.
The homes of Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman and Miles Teller are among those destroyed, while dozens of other stars now face an anxious wait alongside their neighbors to learn if anything could be saved.
Apocalyptic fires tore through the ritzy enclave of Pacific Palisades on Tuesday, rapidly spreading to surrounding suburbs as a windstorm carried embers and debris in all directions.
Residents fled and then waited with bated breath to learn more about their homes, as news began trickling out that entire streets had been wiped off the map, firefighters were running out of water, and resources were being diverted to fight the fire on multiple fronts.
Now, the widespread devastation is becoming clearer as celebrities share their devastation upon discovering they’ve lost their million-dollar mansions.
John Goodman
Beloved actor John Goodman’s home was wiped out in the wildfires.
The Pacific Palisades property was right in the path of the blaze, which has already scorched more than 15,000 acres and was traveling as far as five football fields a minute.
All that remains is his backyard pool, which is still filled with dirty, blackened water, and the driveway, which now leads to nothing but rubble.
Debris was strewn across the property in aerial pictures obtained by DailyMail.com, while a huge tree that once stood at the front of the home had also fallen in the blaze.

Anthony Hopkins
Anthony Hopkins’ home is also gone, the devastating photos show.
There is nothing left of the Oscar winner’s property. The gates which protected the property are still standing, but have been pushed wide open.
Trees which once offered privacy are charred to a crisp.
As of Wednesday afternoon, officials haven’t provided an estimate of structures damaged or destroyed in the wildfire, but they said at least 100,000 residents were under evacuation orders and nearly 30,000 structures were under threat.
At least 100,000 additional people have been warned they should consider evacuating.

Miles and Keleigh Teller
Top Gun: Maverick star Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh bought their dream home for $7.5million in April 2023.
The home is now entirely wiped out.
Shocking pictures show a car parked in the driveway was also completely charred.
Keleigh had shared several photos on Instagram overnight, the first being a dramatic photo of the blaze with a crying emoji, and the second urging evacuees to leave bowls of water on the streets for animals as they escaped.
The couple have not yet commented on the loss of their own home.
The sprawling five bed, seven bath home was built in 2015, equipped with a movie theatre, gym and custom staircase.
It is understood the property was purchased as a ‘secondary residence.’
