Chris Pratt is breathing a sigh of relief after returning home for the first time since evacuating amid the devastating LA fires.
The 45-year-old Avengers: Endgame star — who shares three children with his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger — revealed in an Instagram video on Wednesday that his home on Los Angeles' Westside had survived the blaze that initially erupted in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood earlier this month.
As of Wednesday evening, that fire is now 70 percent contained, while the Eaton fire in Altadena is 95 percent contained.
However, a new fire further north in the Castaic Lake area of Los Angeles County had erupted late that morning and was only 5 percent contained.
Despite confirming that his home was safe for now, Pratt still sounded somber when speaking about the losses that numerous others have faced, including his 'son's mother,' his ex-wife Anna Faris.
Faris, 48, previously lost her $5 million Pacific Palisades mansion shortly after the first started.

Pratt filmed his Instagram video in a closeup selfie shot from his SUV after surveying his property.
'I'm going to go check out my house,' he announced. 'Miraculously, it's still standing.'
'By the grace of God we have four walls and a roof,' he added.
After he inspected the house more closely, he said he planned to check out the town to see the extent of the damage.
'It's truly devastating, as you know,' he told his 45.1 million followers.
Although he appreciated the 'silver lining' that his 'house was saved,' he acknowledged that 'so many people's houses were burned around us.'
'The community's gone. My son's school is gone. My son's mom's house burned down,' he said, referring to Faris' home. 'Dozens of our friends lost their homes. It's just wild.'
Faris bought her Pacific Palisades home for $5 million in 2019, after she had split from Pratt and they sold their home in the Hollywood Hills in 2018.
'By the grace of God we have four walls and a roof,' he said of his home, before acknowledging his son's school and numerous neighbors' homes were gone

The Guardians Of The Galaxy star shares his oldest son, 12-year-old Jack, with Faris.
The couple met in 2007 when they starred together in the 1980s-set rom-com Take Me Home Tonight, and they got engaged the following year before tying the knot in Indonesia in 2009.
They later announced their separation in 2017, and Pratt filed for divorce by December of that year. The divorce was finalized on Halloween of 2018.
He and his current wife Katherine began dating in 2018 and got engaged the following year. The lovebirds wed in 2019.
They now have three children of their own: daughters Lyla, four, and Eloise, two, as well as their newest child, their two-month-old son Ford, whom Schwarzenegger gave birth to on November 8 of last year.
Pratt concluded his video by adding that he and his family were 'resilient' and they 'trust in God,' before thanking his fans for their prayers.
'It’s been a tough few weeks, but we’re resilient,' he reiterated in his caption. 'Praying for LA and all those impacted, we’ll get through this together. God bless.'
