Anthony Hopkins issues poignant message after losing his home in the devastating LA wildfires

Oscar-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins has shared a poignant message of support to those impacted by the catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles.

The 87-year-old Welsh actor lost his home in the Pacific Palisades fire, the largest raging within the LA area which has destroyed thousands of structures.

Posting to his 5.4million followers on Friday, he wrote: 'As we all struggle to heal from the devastation of these fires, it's important we remember that the only thing we take with us is the love we give.'
Thousands of firefighters have been attempting to contain the wind-driven fires in California which have killed 10 people, ravaged communities, and sent thousands of people frantically fleeing their properties.

The fires have thrown Hollywood's awards season into disarray, with the Critics Choice Awards and the Oscar nominations among events rescheduled as firefighters attempted to battle the blaze.

It was revealed on Thursday that Anthony tragically joined the growing list of Hollywood elites who have lost their homes as the blazes continue to ravage the area.
The actor, who purchased a stunning four-bedroom, five-bathroom home in the Pacific Palisades area for $6 million in 2021, saw his property destroyed by the flames.

Photos reveal the charred remains of the classic colonial home, with little more than a scorched fence standing as the only trace of what was once a beautiful property.

The house purchase was a fresh start for the Oscar-winning actor, who had just sold his long-time Malibu oceanfront place for $10.5 million - more than double what he paid for it back in 2001.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time Anthony's home faced devastating flames.

Very unfortunate news about Hopkins home.

I remember some years ago a similar thing happened in Malibu where Scottish actor Gerard Butler had the same gut-wrenching experience.

Stsy strong Sir Anthony.
