“Okay, I’m going to check out my house. Amazingly, it’s still standing,” Pratt, 45, said in an Instagram video uploaded on Wednesday, January 22. “By the grace of God we have four walls and a roof.”

Celebrities have spoken out in the wake of the devastation, sharing updates on their homes, some of which were burned to the ground. Pratt is one of the lucky ones whose house is still standing.

“I put myself in the shoes of all these people whose homes have burned to the ground with their belongings, their memories, their everything that made them feel safe in the world that is now gone, and their insurance has dropped them,” the actress said in an Instagram video on Jan. 19. “For some of them, the level of tragedy is immeasurable and difficult to comprehend.
