An ABC News presenter left The View panel stunned during his LA wildfires reporting. Wildfires are currently tearing through parts of Los Angeles, California and areas such as Malibu. Thousands of homes have been destroyed with around 70,000 people evacuated as they seek refuge away from the devastating impact. But during the live coverage of the devastating events, ABC's Chief National Correspondent, Matt Gutman bravely presented outside the burnt out home of a relative.
Despite his heartache, Matt put on a brave face as he refrained from being impartial. While appearing live on The View via video-link, he said: "We can’t see it, but I can feel the heat emanating from this house, which actually happens to be my aunt’s house, who lost everything here, like so many people actually in this part of LA". He later went on to share an update on his relatives, admitting it had been "hard" for his family.
Following his revelation, hosts Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Sara Haines were all left in shock, with Sara questioning how Matt's aunt was doing amid the crisis. He replied: "Yeah, my aunt is struggling, Sara. You know, it’s been really hard for the family, but I think a lot of people, which is really interesting, have the same response - which is, 'I'm Okay'.".
