‘I’ve Been Crying My Eyes Out’—Candace Cameron Bure Shares Her Family’s Old House in LA Is ‘Decimated’

In a video recorded in her Los Angeles home, actor Candace Cameron Bure shared on Thursday (Jan. 9) that she had been “crying [her] eyes out” for most of the day after hearing that the homes of friends had been destroyed by the Los Angeles County wildfires.

At least 10 people have died from the deadly infernos, which have burned through nearly 30,000 acres. Unfortunately, officials expect the death toll to rise once investigators are able to safely access homes and businesses. To date, an estimated 10,000 structures have been destroyed.

“My heart is so heavy. Just sharing my emotions and stories here,” Bure, who is the chief content officer of Great American Media, captioned her video.

“I am in deep prayer for the communities, people and friends who have lost everything from the fires. And also the heroes who are helping.”

“I sit in grief with you,” she continued. “I kneel in prayer with you. I hold you tightly. May God comfort you in a ways that surpass understanding ❤️.”

Bure struggled to hold back tears multiple times during her four-minute video. “I’m in L.A. right now, and it’s just been devastating to watch,” she shared, explaining that she could see the fires from her window.

“Probably 80% of the Palisades [IS] just gone,” Bure said, sharing that the Palisades is a place where she and her family lived for over 30 years.

“When Val and I got married, we bought our first home up in the Palisades Highlands and lived there, and then throughout the years of our life, we’ve always had a home in either the Palisades or Malibu,” Bure said. Bure added that her children attended school in the Palisades.

Bure also shared that up until last year, the Palisades had been her family’s home, and she has many friends who have lost their homes and businesses. “It’s so sad,” she said. “I know them personally. They’re my friends, and I feel so helpless.”

“You can’t even go to help and salvage anything that might be left through the destruction,” Bure said. “And so we’re just waiting for these fires to to stop.”

Bure told her social media followers, “I’ve been crying my eyes out. I’ve so been so depressed. And I think I sat on my sofa the majority of the day and watched the news and was on the phone and calling everyone I knew and just watching what was happening. And it’s just heartbreaking.”
