She revealed earlier this month that she had lost her home in Altadena amid the devastating fires roiling parts of Los Angeles.

The 40-year-old This Is Us star revealed that the journey near the rubble that was once her family home left her 'sob[bing]' during the car ride in the caption to a sweet video of her son Gus cradling baby Lou in his lap. While losing her home was hard enough, Moore has also had to deal with angry fans on social media who blasted her for sharing a fundraising link to help her family members whose home had also been destroyed in the LA fires.
'Now that the adrenaline has subsided, reality has a sharper focus and the anxiety manages to nestle in nightly,' Mandy began to update her fans in her latest post's caption. 'I’m trying my best to be present for them,' she said of her three young children. 'I’m failing a lot of the time, tucked into my phone answering impossible questions, trying to keep the ship afloat while swimming in a pool of grief. With a shorter fuse.'.
