“We lived in Pacific Palisades for years,” he wrote. “It was the first house Kim and I bought together. Memories were made with some of our dearest friends — the first nursery we had to prep, the birthing classes with @kevinnealon and @sukiyeagley. Walking to the local restaurants, the Gelson’s, and the Starbucks.”
“That beautiful old house burned last night, as did most of that community. So many good people displaced, devastated and cast out all over L.A.,” he continued, adding, “”It is all so tragic and sad. Love to you all.”
