Mel Gibson: Los Angeles fires ‘devastating, it’s emotional’ | Vargas Reporters

Award-winning actor, producer and director Mel Gibson was in Austin at the time of the Los Angeles fires but says when he arrived back home, “sure enough, it wasn’t there.” Gibson joins “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” and says he has “never seen such a complete burn" like what happened to his home of 14 years, but that what was lost in the fire “can all be replaced ... these are only things.”

Mel Gibson has a good attitude. He says it's just stuff. It's very sad, and to lose things that mean something personal, but it's "things."

Mel is a great human being, thanks for spreading hope and a positive attitude.

[philipbell]

Prayers for Mel and his family, he has a healthy perspective of material things, life is what’s most important.

"It's like somebody did it on purpose to destroy every aspect of it" - Mel Gibson. Very powerful statement

[dianaborges]

Mel is right! You can always replace material things but you can never replace lives. Glad the whole family is well.

Mel Gibson is a real one. My admiration of him is still alive and well. Thanks to him for always standing for Jesus Christ.

Hello Mel, hugs from Australia. So sorry about your home.

I love Mel. The best interview! “Stuff!” I told this to my daughter when she asked me about natural disasters. If fires ever came to our home, we can’t go to a 2nd home. I told her still, we have one another and we are alive. That’s what matters. We can get more stuff.

Mr. Gibson, I’m your fan. Seeing yours and adjacent places burned down, it’s really heartbreaking! Nonetheless, your calm voices shown optimistic views about life. God blesses you and your family to recover and live normal lives once again.

Our chickens survived the 1983 Ash Wednesday fires in South Australia. Our house was totally destroyed, but the chook house survived, and lived on for many years.
