California is under a state emergency as it battles wildfires that have already killed two people — and now General Hospital star Cameron Mathison (Drew Quartermaine) has revealed a heartbreaking update about his own home.

California’s wildfires are wreaking havoc

“We are safe,” Mathison began the caption accompanying a video reel on Instagram, “but this is what is left of our beautiful home. Our home where our children were raised and where they would raise their own a day.” In the video, he shows what’s left of his once beautiful house and a lone water feature that was left standing.

Yesterday, the actor posted a video on his Instagram stories showing sunny skies against the howling winds of his neighborhood. Several hours later, as night fell, he posted another video, this time of raging fires, writing, “Thank you for all the love and concern,” adding, “We are evacuated and safe. Praying that everyone can say the same.”

The actor wrote about the outpouring of support he has received from others. “Thanks to everyone who reached out and checked in. Can’t reply to everyone so wanted to give an update here,” he wrote, before adding, “Sending so many prayers to everyone affected by these fires. “

Mathison, who revealed his separation from wife Vanessa Mathison (ex-Mia, GH) last summer, bought the house in 2012. The Mathisons told Los Angeles Times that year, “We look forward to living in this home for the next 30 years.”

The couple share two children, son Lucas and daughter Leila, who are both studying abroad; Lucas is England at Central St Martins at the University of the Arts London, studying fashion design, while Leila is studying psychology at the American University in Paris. Lucas was back at school after being home for the holidays. Leila was still in town, but not at home, as she was also at home during the recent holidays.

GH co-star Laura Wright (Carly) commented on Mathison’s post: “Oh, I’m so sorry my dear friend. Thank God you’re all safe.” Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) echoed: “So sorry mate. Unreal.” “I love you ,” wrote Alicia Minshew, Mathison’s ex All my children love interest (she played Kendall Hart to his Ryan Lavery). Another AMC alum, Aiden Turner (ex-Aidan), wrote: “So sorry Cam, awful situation for you and everyone there. Glad you’re safe and alive bro .” Candace Cameron Bure, who works with Mathison on film for Great American Family, wrote: “Love you we are here for you.” Earlier The Wonder Years star Danica McKellar, Mathison’s co-star in the Hallmark movie A lot, a lot Valentinecommented, “Praying hard for you and all affected!! ” Fr Days of our lives star Jen Lilley (ex-Theresa) wrote: “Oh my God! I’m so sorry. This is so horrible.”
