Mandy Moore and her family have found refuge at her pal Hilary Duff’s home amid the terrifying Los Angeles wildfires.
The 40-year-old actress’ brother-in-law Griffin Goldsmith took to Instagram to reveal Hilary and her husband Matthew Koma have opened up their Beverly Hills mansion to Mandy, husband Taylor Goldsmith and their three children – Gus, three, Ozzie, two, and three-month-old Louise – after their abode was destroyed by the fires in Altadena, California.
Musician Griffin – who also lost his home – wrote: “Our dear friends @matthewkoma and @hilaryduff thought it wise to set up a gofundme for us to help with everything moving forward.
“Not to mention they are currently housing my brother’s family. They’ve taken care of my entire family from the moment this began. I will never be able to thank them adequately.
“This is the kindest act any human could do for another.
“They are the most beautiful, selfless people we’ve ever known. (sic)”
Mandy took to social media late last week to reveal the devastating impact the fires have had on her home and local community.
She wrote: “We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now. It’s not livable but mostly intact. We lost Taylor and griffin’s studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they’ve ever owned. We lost our garage and back house. Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone. My in laws. My brother and sister in law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends. Feeling weird survivors guilt. We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thanks for everyone for checking on us and offering us help. Altadena strong. (sic)”
The wind-fed Californian wildfires have killed 24 people, destroyed several communities and more than 12,300 structures after roaring through 40,000 acres of the Greater Los Angeles area.
There are evacuation orders in place for 92,000 residents.
