James Woods broke down during a CNN interview as he described evacuating his Pacific Palisades home amid the Los Angeles wildfires.

The actor, 77, became emotional as he shared how his wife’s niece offered to help after their home was destroyed by the fires that have decimated at least 1,000 structures and left two dead.

Woods said his wife’s eight-year-old niece ‘came out with her little piggy bank for us to rebuild our house.’

‘I’m sorry, it’s just one day you’re in the pool and the next its all gone,’ Woods added as he teared up.

The Oscar winner continued: ‘I’m sorry, I thought I was stronger than this…’

Woods had previously shared a video of the view from his destroyed home and wrote on X: ‘I took this last night from our beautiful little home in the Palisades.

 

‘Now all the fire alarms are going off at once remotely. It tests your soul, losing everything at once, I must say.’

As the wildfire continues to ravage California’s Pacific Palisades, many celebrities have had to flee their luxurious homes as authorities warned of an ‘immediate threat to life.’

Evacuation notices were initially placed along the affluent coastal region, with a chilling warning of an ‘immediate threat to life’ from the California Department of Forest and Fire Protection.

The apocalyptic inferno has torn through the ritzy neighborhood, home to many A-list celebrities, including Ben Affleck, Jhene Aiko, Tom Hanks, and Miles Teller, among others.

Reality TV star Spencer Pratt, 41, and his wife Heidi Montag, 38, lost their home in Pacific Palisades due to the raging wildfire.

Three major blazes were burning in the metropolitan area, from the Pacific Coast inland to Pasadena, home of the famed Rose Parade.

With thousands of firefighters already attacking the flames, the Los Angeles Fire Department put out a plea for off-duty firefighters to help, and weather conditions were too windy for firefighting aircraft to fly, further hampering the fight. Fire officials hoped to get the flights up later Wednesday.

In addition to the two deaths, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said many others were hurt in the fires, which threatened at least 28,000 structures.

‘This morning, we woke up to a dark cloud over all of Los Angeles. But it is darkest for those who are most intimately impacted by these fires. It has been an immensely painful 24 hours,’ LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath said.

At least 70,000 people were ordered to evacuate — a number that kept changing because evacuation orders were continually being issued, officials said. The flames marched toward highly populated and affluent neighborhoods home to California’s rich and famous. Hollywood stars, including Mark Hamill, Mandy Moore and James Woods, were among those forced to flee.

Images of the devastation showed luxurious homes that had collapsed in a whirlwind of flaming embers. The tops of palm trees whipped against a glowing red sky.

The home of Vice President Kamala Harris was included in an evacuation zone, although no one was there, according to a spokesperson.

More than 100 schools were closed due to fire risk. The flames also cut off power to more than 180,000 people mostly in Los Angeles County, according to the tracking website PowerOutage.us. Southern California Edison shut off some service because of safety concerns related to high winds and fire risks. More than 500,000 could face shutoffs depending on weather conditions, the utility said.

Recent dry winds, including the notorious Santa Anas, have contributed to warmer-than-average temperatures in Southern California, where there’s been very little rain so far this season. Southern California hasn’t seen more than 0.1 inches of rain since early May.
