Actor James Woods and his wife Sara evacuated from their home in Pacific Palisades, California on Tuesday as the flames crept closer and it was no longer safe to stay.

Many of their neighbors’ homes burned to the ground, and they were told their home had burned as well.  A view from one of their security cameras showed the flames climbing up the hill, right below their back deck. And then Woods started getting notifications on his phone that all the smoke alarms and fire alarms were going off in their house.  So he assumed it was all gone.

But Friday afternoon, they discovered their home had not burned after all.

Woods announced on X, “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. The view from our deck area.”

Woods posted a photo and wrote:

The man on the left, Robert Trinkkeller, is a hero. By the grace of God he stayed behind when the evacuation order was given. When I called the man on the right, our neighbor, in Boston to be sure his 94 year-old father had been evacuated, he was devastated that a replacement caregiver had left his father behind. Sara and I couldn’t get back up through police barricades, so I called Robert and managed to get him.

By the time he got to the elderly father’s house, the house next store was ablaze. I had gotten through to the Fire Services finally, and they met Robert who guided them to the father. His son flew out immediately and today all three of us and Sara put out the fires on our hillside with buckets of pool water. If you are blessed to have such wonderful neighbors, you are luckier than you know.

“One side untouched, the other utter destruction. While we rejoice to find our house intact, in the midst of a hellscape like this, you can only think of your neighbors. I was so certain our house was gone a day ago, but the fickle finger of fate decided otherwise,” Woods wrote.

“So many beautiful messages from all of you. I’m so happy and grateful, but honestly the entire area looks like the dark side of the moon. It’s so fundamentally gut-wrenching and upsetting, it’s almost hard to celebrate the joyous news that our home survived,” he admitted.

Woods also shared a very real example of ‘price-gouging.”

“Clients of our friend were trying to lease a house while their home was being renovated. The lease was for $18,000 per month. They were to sign the papers the day of the fire. Now the people renting want $30,000. The vultures are circling and the flames aren’t even out yet,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Woods’ wife, Sara, blasted California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who now claims he wants President-elect Donald Trump to come visit the state.

“I hope he comes purely to rub your nose in the absolute cluster fuck mess you created in this state. You should resign,” Sara wrote.

James Woods then quipped, “Thee are so many reasons I love my brilliant, beautiful wife, and this is certainly one of them!”

Woods is promoting a petition calling for LA Mayor Karen Bass’ resignation.
