Cameron Mathison wails as her neighborhood is ravaged by wildfires in California

A gut-wrenching video posted by actor Cameron Mathison illustrates the devastation experienced by Los Angeles residents affected by the California wildfires.

The actor, best known for his work on soap operas like “General Hospital” and “All My Children,” captured footage of himself driving through his Altadena neighborhood as it is engulfed in flames.

Although Mathison initially posted the footage in an Instagram Storyit is without sound. When he later shared the video with CNNHowever, the network aired the audio — which includes a distressed Mathison whimpering and wailing as he films the heartbreaking scene from his car.

“I’ve never actually heard those kinds of sounds come out of me before,” Mathison told CNN’s Laura Coates after rewatching his footage on air. “So it was very strange. It was just such a, uh, kind of guttural pain and disbelief and shock and fear as I approached my property and didn’t see the house.”

The actor told “Good Morning America” ​​Thursday that he was heading out to dinner in Pasadena on Tuesday when he first noticed the Eaton fire in the distance, which Mathison described at the time as just a “little point of light.”

“I think I saw the Eaton Canyon fire start,” Mathison told GMA. “I mean, it was just a little rush. And I thought, ‘Well, that’s not good.’

Despite seeing the flames, Mathison decided to go out to eat, and while at the restaurant, his phone started “blowing up” because the smaller fire he saw earlier had “caught and spread so quickly. “

“I ran back home and I put a bag together with what I’m wearing … and I left to come and live in an apartment here in Pasadena with my daughter and her mother, and while we were watching the news, realizing , that this could be bad,” Mathison recalled.

He noted to CNN that he was particularly concerned when he recognized his neighbors’ houses on the news.

“I just couldn’t take it anymore so I got in the car,” Mathison told CNN.

He told “GMA” that he then drove back to his home a second time, and as he did, he decided to film the terrifying scene.

Despite the onslaught of flames and smoke, he managed to get back to his home to collect “passports and birth certificates and what photo albums I could get.”

Mathison also decided to share another video on Instagram showing the damage to his own home. In the caption he wrote:

“This is what is left of our beautiful home. Our home where our children were raised and where they would raise their own one day.”

Mathison told CNN that his block in Altadena was “totally decimated.”

“It looked like, in many cases, houses were never built there,” he told CNN.

Although Mathison looked traumatized in both of his interviews with CNN and “GMA,” he told the latter that it pains him that many others are experiencing the same level of pain.

“It’s so outrageous. So many people with so much loss,” he told “GMA.” “It’s still very disturbing and so surreal — and again, to think of the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people going through the same thing, it’s just … devastating.”
