Chris Pratt is thankful that his home is still standing after the Pacific Palisades wildfires, but shares that his ex-wife Anna Faris wasn’t as fortunate.
“Miraculously it’s still standing,” the Parks and Recreation alum, 45, said of his home in a social media update shared on Wednesday, Jan. 22.
He added, “By the grace of God, we have four walls and a roof.”
Pratt made the video update from his car as he went to check out his property for the first time since wildfires destroyed the Los Angeles-area community beginning on Jan. 7.
“It’s truly devastating, as you know,” he said. “Silver lining is my house was saved, but at the same time, so many people’s houses were burned around us and the community’s gone.”
The Jurassic World actor continued: “My son’s school is gone. My son’s mom’s house burned down.”
Pratt, who has been married to Katherine Schwarzenegger since 2019, shares a 12-year-old son named Jack with his ex-wife, Faris.
He and the Scary Movie actress were married from 2009 until 2018.
“Anna and her family are safe and very grateful,” a representative for the Just Friends actress, 48, told PEOPLE on Jan. 8.
In addition to Faris, Pratt added that “dozens of our friends lost their homes.”
“It’s just wild,” he said, before changing to a more positive note. “We’re resilient. We trust in God, and consider it all a blessing.”
Before wrapping up, Pratt thanked those who have shared “prayers and support.”
“It’s been inspiring to see how our community’s come together,” he said, promising to give more updates as they became available.
The Pacific Palisades Fire has been considered to be the most destructive firestorm in the city’s history, with more than 23,400 acres burned as of Wednesday, according to Cal Fire.
Dry vegetation and lack of rain created the ideal environment for flames to spark, while severe winds helped the blazes travel at rapid speeds.
Faris is just one of many who have lost their homes. Paris Hilton, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Ricki Lake and more have spoken out about their loss while Chrissy Teigen, Britney Spears and more have shared that they evacuated.
However, it was not just Malibu and the Pacific Coast Highway homes and businesses that were affected.
