Chris also shared that his home in the Pacific Palisades fire – where he lives with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger and their three children – had luckily managed to withhold the blaze.

"Alright I'm going to go check out my house. Miraculously, it's still standing, by the grace of God we have four walls and a roof," the father-of-four began.

"I'm going to go check out the town I haven't been back 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 is gone."

Chris added: "My son's school is gone, my son's mom's house burned down. Dozens of our friends lost their homes, it's just wild. We're resilient and we trust in God and consider it all a blessing."

"My heart just hurt hearing stories of people wishing they had grabbed journals and wedding dresses. I don't care what your status is or how rich you are… homes have memories and even priceless items that anyone would feel heartbroken if they lost them. I'm so glad your home and family are safe," wrote one.

Another said: "God bless you Chris, and your family, and let's hope all those [families] who lost their homes to find one as quick as possible."

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris' co-parenting situation

Anna and Chris previously lived in a mansion together in the Pacific Palisades and, after their divorce finalized in 2018, Chris stayed local. He and Katherine currently reside in a $15 million mansion in the area, though they are looking to move to Brentwood where they are currently building their own home.

As part of their divorce agreement, the former couple agreed to live within five miles of each other for five years to make sure their co-parenting dynamic was smooth sailing and not disruptive for their son.
