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

The All My Children alum, 55, spoke with Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, Jan. 9, explaining how he and his family escaped from The Eaton Fire, which burned their home earlier this week. When they were forced to evacuate, he said he “didn’t really believe” they would lose everything, so he only took passports, birth certificates and a few photo albums.

“I unfortunately left some valuable ones where the kids were very, very young and film that you can’t replace,” he said, adding, “If I really thought the house was going down, I would’ve grabbed so much more.”

Just hours before, he was out to dinner when his ex-wife, Vanessa, called to tell him they needed to evacuate. They went to an apartment they own in the nearby area of Pasadena, and the next morning, they got word that their home didn’t make it.

“[Vanessa] woke me up at 5 in the morning, because she’d been up pretty much all night and watched the news and heard that the street above our street…. the reporters were literally on our block on TV,” Cameron recalled. “We’re sitting on the couch, watching the news, recognizing the houses around our house burned down, but I couldn’t see our house.”

“I just was sitting there, it was probably 6 in the morning, and I had to go up there,” he continued, saying he bought a mask and protective glasses before going into his neighborhood. “It looked like a war zone.”

Although he had some “hope” that their house would be okay, he quickly realized it wasn’t.

“It was all gone,” he revealed. “It was really, really decimated. There’s nothing there. Less than nothing. It’s just all burnt to just ashes.”

The actor later told Good Morning America on Jan. 9 that he was thankful to have gotten anything out of the home, but knowing there is nothing left of it is hard to cope with.

“I’ve been up all night. I can’t sleep. I’ve lost my home and everything that I own,” he said. “I have this hoodie and a pair of pants and two pairs of sneakers left. That’s it.”

“Every few minutes we’re thinking about things that were in there that are irreplaceable, but there are a lot of things that are replaceable,” he added.

He had told ET that the home was somewhere his daughter Lelia, 18, and son Lucas, 21 always thought they’d be able to go back to, noting it was custom-built just for them.

See his original video below:

“We spent over a decade doing every detail of that house,” he explained tearfully. “It was something that the kids loved, it was where the kids wanted to raise their kids. I keep coming back to that we’re all safe. It’s so devastating and when you’re in shock like this, it’s kinda hard to think clearly, to be honest.”

Mathison shared images of the charred remains of the home on his Instagram on Wednesday, Jan. 8, giving a tour of the grounds when he returned for the first time since evacuating.

“We are safe. But this is what’s left of our beautiful home,” he wrote alongside the video. “Our home where our kids were raised and where they wanted to raise their own someday.”

“Thanks to all who reached out and checked in,” he continued. “Can’t respond to all so wanted to give an update here. Sending so many prayers to everyone being affected by these fires,” he concluded the caption, followed by a prayer hands emoji.

Several celebrities, along with over 80,000 displaced residents, have been impacted by the five fires occurring in Los Angeles right now. In addition to the Mathison family, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Cary Elwes and Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have all confirmed that their homes have been destroyed.
