James Woods was one of the earliest evacuees amid the Los Angeles fires this week, posting harrowing video on Tuesday afternoon of one of his neighbors’ homes going up in flames as the Palisades Fire sparked up. But, in a fortunate turn, Woods himself did not end up losing his home.

On Friday afternoon, the actor shared another video to his social media, celebrating “a miracle” that he and his family returned to.

“A miracle has happened. We managed to get to our property and our home, that we were told is gone forever, is still standing,” he wrote. “In this hellish landscape ‘standing’ is relative, but smoke and other damage is not like the utter destruction around us.”
