Gary Hall Jr. - a 10-time Olympic medalist who won five gold medals for USA in his swimming career - fears he has lost everything in the Los Angeles wildfires. That includes his Olympic medals, with the 50-year-old fleeing after seeing flames out of the window of his Pacific Palisades home.
'It's not just a home, it's all worldly possessions,' Hall Jr. said to 12news. 'I really am that guy with nothing to lose. 'It grew quickly, then flames, and you could see the houses going up one by one as it moved down the hill to where I was. 'Hot embers were raining down on me as I jumped into the car. It'll be tough going back to the site, going through the ashes, trying to find the things that may have survived the fire, but no expectations in that regard.'.
