Zooey Deschanel is grieving the loss of her childhood home, where her parents still lived before the property was lost to the Palisades Fire still burning in Los Angeles County. In a post to her social media, the “Elf” actor wrote the home, “a marvel of 1920s Spanish revival architecture,” was “full of too many incredible memories to count” and “was one of the oldest homes in the Palisades and so spectacularly beautiful. It was not a mansion but it was cozy and lovely and unique and perfect to me.” She posted a gallery of photos showing an arresting before-and-after of the facade of the property, along with family photos, including her sister, fellow actress Emily Deschanel. Zooey went on to describe some of the “best moments” she experienced there, from Christmas dinners to baby showers, which “all have vanished into thin air.” Acknowledging she and her family “are not alone” along with those affected by the other wildfires in the area, including the Eaton Fire centered around Altadena, Deschanel wrote “the streets of my childhood in Pacific Palisades have been all but erased as we knew them. So many people have lost so much.” She then expressed gratitude to those who have “shown up for us and our community and Los Angeles in general,” from firefighters to friends.
