Cameron Mathison Loses Family Home to California Wildfires
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Actor Cameron Mathison, best known for his roles on General Hospital and All My Children, has lost his family home to the devastating California wildfires. The actor shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram, posting a video of the charred remains of his property and expressing gratitude that his family is safe.
“We are safe,” Mathison wrote in the caption, “but this is what’s left of our beautiful home. Our home where our kids were raised and where they wanted to raise their own someday.” The Mathison family had lived in the home for over a decade, creating cherished memories within its walls. The actor described the loss as “hard to process,” emphasizing the emotional toll of seeing their life’s foundation reduced to ashes.
The wildfires, which have ravaged parts of California, have forced thousands to evacuate and destroyed numerous homes. Mathison and his family were among those who had to flee as the flames approached. In an earlier Instagram Story, the actor shared footage of the raging fires, writing, “Thank you for all the love and concern. We have evacuated and are safe. Prayers that everyone can say the same.”
Despite the devastation, Mathison expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support from friends, fans, and the community. “The kindness and generosity we’ve experienced from friends, neighbors, and even strangers have been overwhelming,” he said. “It reminds us of the strength and resilience of our community.”
Mathison’s General Hospital co-stars and other celebrities also offered their condolences. Laura Wright, who plays Carly Corinthos on the show, commented, “Oh, I’m so so sorry, my dear friend. Thank God you are all safe.” Bradford Anderson, who portrays Spinelli, echoed the sentiment, writing, “So very sorry, pal. Unreal.”
The Mathison family now faces the daunting task of rebuilding their lives. Cameron shared his determination to move forward, stating, “This experience has taught us the importance of cherishing what truly matters. Homes can be rebuilt, but the safety and well-being of my family are irreplaceable.” He also expressed a desire to assist others affected by the wildfires, saying, “We plan to be active in relief efforts, helping those who have lost as much, if not more, than we have.”
As California continues to battle the wildfires, the Mathison family’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and unity needed in the face of such tragedies.
