The Young and the Restless icon Eric Braeden recently took to Twitter to share devastating news with his fans: he and his family were forced to evacuate their California home due to the growing threat of wildfires. In an emotional tweet, the beloved actor expressed deep sadness and uncertainty, stating, “We have evacuated our home… kind of sad because we don’t know if it will be around in a few days.” His words resonated with many, as the wildfires continue to wreak havoc across the state.
Eric also voiced his frustrations with Los Angeles authorities, criticizing the use of above-ground power lines, which he believes exacerbate the fire risks. He didn’t mince words, calling the situation a “pathetic joke,” a sentiment echoed by many residents affected by the ongoing crisis.
Before leaving, Eric made an effort to protect his home, watering down his backyard as much as possible, even sharing a photo of the attempt with a sense of humor, wishing he had a “bigger hose.” Despite his efforts, the looming uncertainty of whether his home will survive the wildfires remains.
With over 180,000 people now evacuated and more than 200,000 structures either destroyed or at risk, the state of California has declared a statewide emergency. Fans of Eric Braeden are sending their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time, hoping for the safety of both the actor and his home.
