podcast.

The actor shared the "devastating" news while chatting with NewsNation's

Gibson had lived in the house for about 15 years, sharing: "It's pretty heartbreaking. It's really tough emotionally. You call a place home for a long time and pile up a lot of belongings. As they say, 'Your stuff is you.' I had all that stuff there, and it's like I've been freed from the weight of it all because it's nothing but ashes now."

Host Elizabeth Vargas asked where he was located when he received the news, which he disclosed was Austin, Texas.

I was on a podcast when it happened, and to be honest, I was feeling a bit off initially, because I knew a fire was blazing in my neighbourhood. I was worried, thinking to myself, "Will my place still be there when I get home?" When I arrived, I saw that it was gone. I had mixed emotions as I thought, "At least I don't have to deal with those plumbing issues anymore."

Fortunately, his spouse and kids had gotten out of there – and despite losing his personal belongings, his chickens made it through the fires.

actor added.

This is just stuff. And the good news is that, you know, the important people in my life, those I care about, are all doing well, happy, and safe – that's all that's on my mind, right.

“'One day, it's just gonna be the right wind and a fire's gonna start in the right place, and it's gonna burn all the way from LA to the ocean, and, honestly, there won't be anything we can do to stop it,’” the firefighter said, apparently.
