Mark Hamill had some good news to report to his fans on Saturday.
The actor, 73, who was one of thousands of Malibu and Pacific Palisades residents who had to flee their homes as deadly wildfires approached earlier this week, reported his home had survived the blaze.
‘Thanks to all who were concerned if our house survived the fires, the Star Wars franchise icon wrote. ‘Amazingly enough… it did.’
The actor shared an aerial photo of his neighborhood that featured houses that had been decimated by the flames, next to homes that appeared not to have been touched by the fire.
He did not point out which house was his.
‘My heart goes out to everyone who weren’t as fortunate, not only in my neighborhood, but all of Los Angeles,’ he said, expressing his sorrow, before adding a note of hope, ‘Together, we will get through this! ❤️-mh’
