Chris Pratt offered an update on his family amid the ongoing L.A. fires, revealing that ex-wife Anna Faris’ home has burned down.
“Alright, I’m going to go check out my house. Miraculously 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.”
Pratt said he was “going to check out the town,” noting he hadn’t been back to his home since the Palisades fires.
“It’s truly devastating, as you know. Silver lining is my house was saved but, at the same time, so many people’s houses were burned around us and the community’s gone,” he continued. “My son’s school is gone. My son’s mom’s house burned down.”

Pratt shares 12-year-old son Jack with Faris, 48, whom he was married to from 2009 to 2018. Following their divorce, he moved on with Katherine Schwarzenegger.

The Guardians of the Galaxy star concluded his video on Wednesday telling Instagram followers that he would keep them updated as they deal with the aftermaths of the fires.
“It’s been a tough few weeks, but we’re resilient,” Pratt captioned the video. “Praying for LA and all those impacted, we’ll get through this together. God bless.”

Celebrities have been speaking 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. Earlier this week, Nina Dobrev spoke candidly about “feeling survivor’s guilt” after her home survived one of the fires.
“I put myself in the shoes of all these people whose homes have burned down to the ground with their belongings, their memories, their everything that made them feel safe in the world now gone, and their insurance dropped them,” the actress said in an Instagram video on January 19. “For some of them, the level of tragedy is immeasurable and it’s really hard to comprehend. They’ve lost everything.”
