Film actor and director Mel Gibson said Thursday that his Malibu home has been destroyed by the wildfires raging in the Los Angeles area, calling the experience “devastating.” “It’s emotional,” Gibson told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” in an interview. “I had my stuff there. I’ve been relieved from the burden of my stuff because it’s all in cinders.”

The actor revealed that the home he had lived in for over a decade was completely gone, but that his chickens had survived.

"What breaks my heart even more is knowing that this isn’t just my story," the reality TV star wrote on social media
