Irish-Canadian star Joshua Jackson is latest to lose his Los Angeles home to wildfires

"Dawson's Creek" star Joshua Jackson is the latest famous face to lose his home to the wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles.

The actor, whose mum hails from Ballyfermot in Dublin, lost his childhood home in the blaze. Joshua bought back the Topanga Canyon home, located in the Santa Monica Mountains, in 2001.

“First and most importantly, all the people closest to me affected by the fire are ok," Jackson said in a statement to Deadline on Sunday.

"My daughter, my family, my neighbors all made it out safely.

“Sadly my beautiful home did not survive the fires. But today, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the people I love.”

Jackson spent his early childhood in the house before his parents, Fiona and John, split up. Joshua bought back the home, revealing to Mr. Porter Magazine that it was a place "where everything felt simple" in 2021.

The €1.95 million home was destroyed on Saturday by the Pacific Palisades blaze. The home's swimming pool remains intact, despite the building itself having been burnt to the ground.

Joshua and his ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith had lived in the home with their four-year-old daughter, Juno.

The actor is not the only star to lose their home in the devastating fires. The wildfires, among the most destructive in the region's history, have already claimed ten lives, destroyed over 10,000 structures, and forced the evacuation of more than 180,000 people.

A string of Hollywood celebrities, including Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, and Adam Brody, have lost their homes.

Mel Gibson said shared the news during a telephone interview saying "Obviously, it’s kind of devastating. It’s emotional, you live there for a long time, and you had all your stuff."

Actor James Woods, known for his roles in Nixon and Casino, broke down in tears during a CNN interview while recounting the loss of his Pacific Palisades property.

"One day you're swimming in the pool, and the next day it’s all gone," he said, tearfully describing how his wife’s eight-year-old niece offered them her piggybank to help rebuild.

Billy Crystal, also lost his longtime Pacific Palisades home. In a statement, he said "Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away. We are heartbroken, of course, but with the love of our children and friends, we will get through this."

Paris Hilton shared her devastation on Instagram after losing her Malibu home. "Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience," she wrote.

"This home is where we built so many precious memories. My heart and prayers are going out to every family affected by these fires."

Actor Adam Brody and his wife, "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester, reportedly lost their Malibu property. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, stars of "The Hills," also saw their home destroyed.

"I’m watching our house burn down on the security cameras," Pratt posted online. Montag later shared an emotional video, saying, "We lost everything we worked so hard for, but we’re safe, and that is the most important thing."

Ricki Lake, the former TV talk show host, revealed she had lost her "dream home" and extended her sympathies to others affected by what she described as an "apocalyptic event."

Other high-profile actors, including Sir Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, Anna Faris, and Cary Elwes, are also reported to have lost their homes in the widespread destruction.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have extended a helping hand to those affected by the devastating wildfires sweeping through Southern California, opening the doors of their $29 million Montecito mansion to friends and loved ones forced to evacuate.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex who live 90 miles north of the LA area also issued a public appeal on their website, Sussex.com, urging Los Angeles residents to offer shelter and aid as the fires continue to wreak havoc.

"If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do. And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating," the couple said in their statement.
