An Australian actor living in Los Angeles has been left devastated after losing his home in California wildfires. Hollywood's biggest celebrities are picking up the pieces after discovering their Los Angeles neighbourhood was reduced to ash and rubble when the fires tore through the Pacific Palisades.
The death toll of the historic infernos have now reached five, as heroic firefighters still battle hellish conditions on the front lines of at least five different fires. Benjamin Rigby, an actor, writer and producer, has revealed his home was completely destroyed by the blaze.
In a photo shared to his Instagram on Thursday, Rigby shared his grief over the loss of his home. 'My heart is absolutely and completely broken. Our home is gone,' he wrote alongside the photo. Benjamin Rigby (pictured) has revealed his home was ravaged by the California wildfires.
In a photo shared to his Instagram on Thursday, Rigby shared his grief over the loss of his home. A friend of Rigby's, fellow actor Belinda Misevski, set up a GoFundMe to aid in 'emergency relief funds'. 'The staircase in this image led to their home. There's not much more I can say,' she wrote in the description of the crowdfunding page.
Misevski added that no one was home at the time the fire tore through and that everyone is 'physically safe'. More than 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate their homes and a further 100,000 put on stand-by, as firefighters battle hellish conditions on the front lines of at least five different fires.
