"This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia loses home to Los Angeles fires in eerie reflection of on-screen tragedy

Actor Milo Ventimiglia has revealed his family's Malibu home burnt down in the Los Angeles fires — an eerie reflection of the tragedy that befell his character on the NBC drama series "This Is Us."

Ventimiglia, a 47-year-old father to be, is among the celebrities affected by the destructive blazes that broke out this week amid powerful winds. He spoke to CBS News while returning home for the first time after evacuating to survey the damage on his scorched street.

Although neighbors had already told him his home had been destroyed, seeing it in person made it real.
