Chris Pratt; Anna FarisChris Pratt is thankful that his home is still standing after the Pacific Palisades wildfires, but shares that his ex-wife Anna Faris wasn’t as fortunate.
“Miraculously it’s still standing,” the Parks and Recreation alum, 45, said of his home in a social media update shared on Wednesday, Jan. 22.
He added, “By the grace of God, we have four walls and a roof.”
Pratt made the video update from his car as he went to check out his property for the first time since wildfires destroyed the Los Angeles-area community beginning on Jan. 7.
“It’s truly devastating, as you know,” he said. “Silver lining is my house was saved, but at the same time, so many people’s houses were burned around us and the community’s gone.”
