Celebrities Who’ve Lost Their Homes In the January 2025 California Wildfires (6 of 6)

John Goodman

John Goodman’s Hollywood Hills home was another structure reduced to ashes by the fires. While Goodman has yet to publicly comment on the loss, reports suggest that the destruction was total, leaving little behind. His loss adds to the mounting toll on celebrities impacted by the fires, highlighting the indiscriminate nature of such disasters.

History Lost

Beyond private residences, the fires have destroyed several historic sites. Palisades Charter High School, known for its appearances in films and TV shows, suffered significant damage. The Will Rogers ranch house, a cultural landmark in Will Rogers State Historic Park, was destroyed along with the historic Topanga Ranch Motel, which was built by William Randolph Hearst in 1929. The loss of these sites represents a tragic erasure of cultural and historical heritage, compounding the community’s sense of loss.
