3 days ago 30

Joshua Jackson broke his silence after his $2M home in Topanga Canyon was burned down to the ground by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

The day after the ash and rubble was photographed of what remains of his multi-story abode, he assured his fans that he and his family were 'OK' despite being displaced.

'First and most importantly, all the people closest to me affected by the fire are ok,' the 46-year-old actor said in a statement his rep shared with Deadline.

'My daughter, my family, my neighbors all made it out safely,' he shared.

He then confirmed that he lost his childhood home, which he purchased in 2001, to the catastrophic Palisades Fire, which erupted in southern California on Tuesday.

Jackson joins a number of other celebrities who lost their homes in the fires, which have killed at least 16 people.

'Sadly my beautiful home did not survive the fires. But today, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the people I love,' the Dawson's Creek star shared.

In photos obtained by DailyMail.com on Saturday, a pile of charred remnants showing what used to be Jackson's home was captured. 

Portions of his backyard and swimming pool were still intact while the hills surrounding the area where the house once stood were barren after the blaze ravaged the area. 

It was at that same house where the Doctor Odyssey had previously spent his early childhood before moving back to Canada at the age of eight after his parent divorced. 

He purchased the property over two decades ago and was living there with his four-year-old daughter Juno Rose Diana, whom he shares with his ex-wife Jodie-Turner Smith. 

Back in 2021, he spoke about purchasing the property where he previously lived as a young child in a sentimental, full circle moment. 

'My father unfortunately was not a good father or a husband and exited the scene,' he told Mr Porter in July 2021. 

He continued: 'But that house in Topanga was where everything felt simple, so it was a very healing thing for me to do.'

He also revealed that after he and his then-wife Turner-Smith welcomed Juno, his childhood bedroom became their daughter's room. 

'There was a mural of a dragon on the wall in that room that I couldn't believe was still there, years later,' he said. 

'The [previous] owner said, "I knew it meant a lot to somebody and that they were going to come back for it someday,' he added.

In addition to Jackson, a slew of A-listers living in the celebrity enclave of the Pacific Palisades have also lost their homes in the ongoing wildfires, which had destroyed thousands of structures and burned over 22,000 acres so far across Los Angeles and surrounding areas. 

A-list stars like Leighton Meester and Adam Brody as well as Paris Hilton, Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore and Anna Faris have also lost their homes in the wildfires. 

Fires have broken out in the Pacific Palisades, Eaton Canyon, Malibu, the Hollywood Hills and other areas around the greater Los Angeles area amid 'life-threatening and destructive' windstorms that started on Tuesday.
