Jurassic World franchise star Daniella Pineda is among the many Hollywood celebs to lose their homes in the L.A. wildfires, the actress seeing the first house she ever bought go up in flames.
Pineda detailed the tragedy in a recent emotional Instagram post.
“This was the first house that I ever bought. My very first. The fire broke out so fast all I could grab was my dog and my laptop and that was it. I lost everything else. I have 1 pair of shoes to my name. I’m happy to be alive. Grateful to be alive. People really show up for one another when disaster hits. Thank you to everyone who offered to help me.”
Pineda also continued, “This may seem silly to some, but I had two Beta fish that I absolutely loved. Always made sure their temp was just right, spoiled them, played with them. Loved them. They were precious and brought me joy everyday. Things are things, they are meaningless. Living creatures, humans, our environment, this is what matters.”
