Mandy Moore lost her home in Altadena, California, to the devastating wildfires in January but in her reflection of 2025, she insisted she still has ‘overwhelming gratitude’ for everything in her life.
The This Is Us actress – who has Gus, four, Ozzie, three, and 14-month-old Louise with husband Taylor Goldsmith – shared a series of family photos to mark Thanksgiving on Thursday.
‘It’s been a pretty wild and difficult year but the top line is definitely overwhelming gratitude,’ Moore, who has been in the news for her changing appearance, wrote.
‘Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. The most grateful for these 4,’ the actress added in a tender shout-out to her family.
Moore, 41, previously paid tribute to her mother-in-law Kathy Goldsmith, describing her as the ‘silver lining’ amid the wildfires that destroyed or damaged over 16,000 structures including homes and businesses and forced thousands of people to evacuate.
‘It’s been a hell of a year and my Mother-in-law, Kathy, has risen to the occasion in every way,’ Moore shared on July 13, which happened to be Kathy’s birthday.

The actress – along with her musician husband, 40, who is lead singer for the folk-rock band Dawes – often takes to social media to celebrate her in-law’s special day.
‘Selfishly, I’m not sure what I would have done without her in the hours, days, weeks, and months since the fire. She suffered her own immense loss and has been by our side since the very beginning, without skipping a beat,’ Moore continued.
‘I’m heartbroken that our 5 min walk to her house is no longer on the table BUT so grateful that we’ve been able to live under the same roof these last 6 months – if there’s any silver lining in this whole thing, she’s definitely ours.’
Moore heaped praise on Kathy for ‘absolutely mastering’ the childcare of her and Goldsmith’s three children, admitting the couple ‘couldn’t be luckier that she’s ours.’
She added: ‘From coffee in the morning as we let the dogs out, to tea after the kids go down and talking about our grief, funny things that happened in our day, etc….
‘To her absolutely mastering bath time, mealtime, playtime and everything in between – including moments like when Gus declared today- “I have to GO POOP with Gaga now!”, we couldn’t be luckier that she’s ours and we’re never letting her go.
‘Seriously, she thinks she can move into her new place but that’s not happening. Ha!
‘I know you want this Birthday to just move right along, but those of us that know your friendship and heart are MORE THAN HAPPY to celebrate you today and always.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @kathy_goldsmith!! We Love you, Gaga!! Xo.’
Moore recently admitted she is ‘looking forward to rebuilding’ her family home following the fires.
Though Moore got her start as a singer, fans probably know her best for her role in the TV series This is Us.
The popular show aired its final episode in May 2022 after six seasons and Moore admitted the end was ‘daunting’ in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
‘Quite frankly, nothing will probably mean the same thing to the world in the way that that job did,’ Moore said.
‘I love working and I feel so incredibly lucky to have had the best job in the world for the last six years.’
She added: ‘I think every creative person is definitely afraid of not working and feels like their last job is their last job. I have been reading stuff and thinking about what’s next, but it’s daunting.’
