Milo Ventimiglia is one of the many California residents whose home was lost in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires this week. The actor known for his work in “This Is Us,” “Heroes” and “Gilmore Girls” returned to the ash-covered site of his former house on Thursday alongside CBS News.
Ventimiglia and his wife Jarah Mariano, who is currently pregnant, evacuated Malibu on Tuesday. Though they were safe, they watched their home burn down via their security camera system.
“I think there’s a kind of shock moment where you’re going, ‘This is real, this is happening,’” Ventimiglia recalled, explaining what it was like to watch his house become engulfed in flames.
