Zooey Deschanel on Friday shared raw before-and-after photos of her childhood home, now gone after the devastating Los Angeles fires.

The New Girl star, 45, took to Instagram to post emotional photos, joining a growing number of celebrities who have lost their homes in the devastation sweeping the region.

The photos captured his Pacific Palisades home in its prime, showing off its stunning 1920s Spanish Revival architecture, along with another image of the same place now reduced to nothing more than ashes and rubble.

‘My childhood home. “A marvel of 1920s Spanish Renaissance architecture,” Zooey began. “Filled with too many amazing memories to count,” Zooey captioned the post. “It was one of the oldest houses in the Palisades and had spectacular beauty.”

“It wasn’t a mansion, but it was cozy and charming, unique and perfect for me,” she continued. ‘Christmas dinners, Easter egg hunts, trick-or-treating, weddings, birthdays, baby showers…we celebrated the best moments of our lives there.’

She shared throwback photos of her family enjoying the property, including her sister Emily Deschanel, best known for her role on Bones.

“The family photos that lined the hallways, the artwork, the piano I learned to play on, the wedding china, the furniture my great-great-grandfather built…the reminders of generations past,” Zooey added.

“They’ve all vanished into thin air.”

Acknowledging the widespread loss, he expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support from friends and strangers.

He thanked everyone who reached out to help, whether it was offering food, clothing or emotional support.

The actress also thanked the firefighters, calling them “true heroes” and emphasized how the kindness of the community has made this difficult time a little easier to bear.

Zooey concluded by saying how much all the kind gestures have meant to her and her family.

‘Thank you all for showing us the goodness of your hearts. “You have no idea what it means to us,” he said.

As the fires continue to rage, Zooey and many others face the heartbreaking loss of their homes in one of the hardest hit areas of Los Angeles.

Zooey’s childhood home is just one of thousands of structures destroyed by the Palisades fire that broke out on Tuesday, January 7.

General Hospital star Cameron Mathison broke down in tears as he recounted his return to the ruins of his California home after the fire that devastated his neighborhood last week.

‘I can’t sleep. I have lost everything I have. I have this hoodie that I’m wearing, a pair of pants and two pairs of sneakers, that’s all,” he explained to GMA. “But obviously it’s important to focus on what we have and what we can be grateful for.”

Mathison and his now-estranged wife Vanessa Arévalo had lived in the Pasadena home since 2012, along with their children Lelia, 18, and Lucas, 21.

Actor Adam Brody and Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester’s Pacific Palisades home was also a victim of the catastrophic wildfires.

They bought their house in 2019 for $6.5 million. The house had five bedrooms, six bathrooms and three stories in 6,000 square feet.

Cary Elwes, Paris Hilton, James Woods, Miles Teller, Jhene Aiko and Billy Crystal are among the stars who lose their homes in the unprecedented fire.

The celebrity-loved enclave is also home to Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon and Adam Sandler, but their properties were not affected by the fire.

Across town, actress Mandy Moore saw part of her Pasadena home destroyed as a result of the Eaton Fire that devastated much of Altadena, California.

Sadly, at least 27 people lost their lives in the fires that spread throughout Los Angeles County.
