Hollywood star James Woods' home survives devastating LA wildfires, shares video on X

Woods, who is known for his roles in Once Upon a Time in America, was evacuated from his house earlier this week after the Palisades Fire broke out.

Sharing the video of his house on X, Woods wrote: "A miracle has happened. We managed to get to our property and our home, that we were told is gone forever, is still standing."

"In this hellish landscape 'standing' is relative, but smoke and other damage is not like the utter destruction around us," he said.

Speaking to CNN, Woods said he evacuated in his car with nothing but some clothes, glasses and medications.

He said he was not sure he could return to his house.

“There was so much chaos,” Woods told CNN’s Pamela Brown on Wednesday.

The veteran actor said: “It was like an inferno, every house was on fire around us.”

But several other Hollywood stars were not as lucky as Woods with houses of major A-listers like  Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore, Tina Knowles, Miles Teller, Jeff Bridges, Eugene Levy, and Adam Brody and Leighton Meester were gutted in the fire.

Death toll stands at 11

Data released by the  Los Angeles County Medical Examiner showed 11 people died due to the wildfires which ravaged the region and left thousands of people evacuated.

The wildfires, which began on January 7, left 12,000 structures destroyed.

According to reports, nearly 150,000 Los Angeles county residents are currently under evacuation orders.

Authorities are still combating the five wildfires that are raging across the region.
