'We evacuated on January 9th, definitely not how I planned on spending my birthday, but I wanted to make this video to thank everyone for their birthday wishes and to make a request,' she said. Nina then admitted she's 'feeling survivor's guilt,' because her home 'made it' despite being close to one of the fires.
