Jennie Garth broke down in tears as she was overcome with emotion during a new video shared to Instagram on Thursday.
The 52-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 veteran was makeup-free, had blonde hair down, and was wearing clear-rimmed glasses and a gray tank top.
She sobbed as she said her ex-husband, Twilight star Peter Facinelli, took her in during the horrific firestorms in Los Angeles.
“I wanted to let you know that we are safe,” the actress began. “Peter and his family welcomed us and have been very kind.”
She then expressed how distressed she was. “I am deeply saddened for our city and feel paralyzed,” Jennie said.
“Our house was saved, but there was a lot to clean up and we were ready to get active and help our neighbors, friends and fellow Angelenos.”

The Twilight heartthrob filed for divorce from Garth in 2012. It was finalized in June 2013; seen in 2005
She went on to say that her husband Dave had been “amazing at hauling all of our bags and boxes, loading and unloading.”
She ended with: ‘Just keep everyone who is suffering here in your hearts and in your prayers. I am grateful that we are all safe and have a home to return to. This will affect people differently, so reach out and offer to help, it really means a lot.
“Thank you for all the love sent this way.”
Jennie and Peter have remained close after their divorce.
They met on the set of their 1995 film An Unfinished Affair and married in January 2001. The union did not last and Facinelli filed for divorce in March 2012, which was finalized in June 2013.
Garth shares three daughters, Luca, 27, Lola, 21, and Fiona, 18, with Facinelli, 50.
In October, she shared that she suffered two miscarriages with her husband Dave Abrams shortly after they got married.
She and the actor, 43, who married in 2015, opened up about the difficult time they went through in an episode of her iHeartPodcast. I choose Jennie Garth.
The star recalled feeling “embarrassed” after failing to give Abrams “a baby.”
“I think at that moment I felt very depressed, very ashamed, feeling like I was letting you down, like I couldn’t carry a pregnancy with you, who I loved,” she recalled.
“And I had had these three beautiful daughters with Peter, and you stepped in and became a wonderful stepfather to them.”

She and Pete met on the set of their 1995 film An Unfinished Affair and married in January 2001 (family pictured in 2011).
“And then I remember I really wanted to give you a baby,” she said.
Jennie admitted that she doesn’t remember much from that time, as she has blocked it out.
“This is a pretty vulnerable topic and I really appreciate that you’re open to talking about it because I think it might help some people,” he said at the beginning of the conversation.
‘At what point in our relationship did we start talking about maybe wanting to have children together?’
“Well, if you remember, we got married on July 11,” Abrams responded. “And then we got pregnant that same month.”
“We got pregnant naturally,” Garth added.
‘Yeah. We returned from Carmel. We went on a mini honeymoon to Carmel in Monterey. And like two weeks later, you were pregnant,” Abrams said.
He continued: ‘Well, we went to Nancy, to your doctor, to the gynecologist, and yes, we were ready. And then that lasted almost four months. And then, you know, we found out.
‘What do you mean?’ Garth asked her husband.

‘Well, I don’t want to get emotional in the first 15 minutes of a podcast. “Yes, we found out there was no heartbeat,” he said.
Abrams shared that he was “upset” after finding out. Garth asked, ‘Were you upset with me?’
“No,” he replied. “I wasn’t upset, I was just depressed.”
The couple was then informed about a dilation and curettage (DNC) procedure.
A dilation and curettage procedure is a procedure to remove tissue from inside the uterus. Health care professionals perform D&Cs to diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions, such as heavy bleeding, or to clean the lining of the uterus after a miscarriage or miscarriage, depending on the Mayo Clinic.

“I seem to remember them saying we could wait and let things work out their way,” Garth said.
‘Let nature take its course or we could do the procedure. And we chose to do the procedure because it was too much for me to have a baby that had been aborted.’
“Yes, it was very heavy,” her husband said.
The couple then opted to have the procedure done that day.
The couple then reconciled that perhaps it wasn’t “in the cards” for them to have a child.
“But then it happened again,” Abrams shared. “Of course,” Garth added, although he said he didn’t remember this one either.
‘So that one was shorter. I remember we had to change doctors. And this was just, you know, when you found out you’d gotten pregnant. And then this was only like a month and a half,” Abrams said.
“I think the doctor at the time said, ‘Well, it’s not going to be healthy anyway.’ So we did the Democratic National Committee again.”
And then at that point, I think it had definitely taken an emotional toll that we didn’t know how to communicate at the time. “So we just finished it and then other things came up.”
