Late Hollywood star Matthew Perry's Los Angeles home escapes ravaging wildfires
Late actor Matthew Perry's Pacific Palisades home has survived the Los Angeles wildfires that have ravaged the region and even left 11 people dead.
The house assumes significance since the actor died in this house.
Anita Verma-Lallian, the new Indian-origin owner of the property, wrote on Instagram: "My heart is absolutely broken over the devastating fires in the Palisades. When we were looking to buy a home, we explored several neighborhoods in LA, but the moment we discovered the Palisades, we immediately fell in love."
She further said: " Seeing it engulfed in flames feels like a personal loss, like losing a part of our hearts. I can’t stop thinking about the wildlife fleeing, the trees and trails now gone, and the destruction of a place that means so much to so many."
Sharing that her house remained safe, she said: "It’s been such a tough week, but we are incredibly thankful to have learned that our house is okay."
"We want to express our deepest gratitude to the brave firefighters, our amazing neighbors, and the entire Palisades community for their help, strength, and support during this heartbreaking time," the real estate developer wrote on Instagram.
She purchased the property a year after the actor died, leaving his fans shocked and saddened.
At least 11 people have been killed in what is considered as the worst wildfire in the Los Angeles city of California, United States while more than 10,000 houses and structures were burnt down in the blaze which is even three days later no less threatening.
The winds eased out on Friday evening helping the firefighters to make significant progress in containing the fire that has forced over 100,000 people including the top celebrities to flee their homes.
However, red flag warnings are likely to be imposed again next week as officials think the danger is far from over.
According to the latest report by The Guardian, six wildfires are still raging in Los Angeles county. The wildfires are still persistent in Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth, Hurst, Lidia and Archer.
