California boy details horrifying moments leading up to loss of home: ‘A lot of stuff I love is gone’

Southern California homes and businesses are still ablaze tonight and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.

Celebrities are turning to social media platforms to communicate their sadness over the destruction of their homes and luxurious cars. However, in Altadena, one family is grieving the loss of something far more precious.

In a Fox 11 interview, a young boy from Altadena stands with his mother and brother, with the wreckage of their house and other destroyed homes visible in the background.

The mother shared on social media the emotional toll the incident has taken on her and her family as they work to rebuild their lives. She mentioned that the brand-new 3D printer her son talked about in the interview was a long-awaited item they had been eagerly anticipating for over a year.

She pointed out how quickly it had all happened, saying it was so fast and that she didn’t think much about the fire until it grew, fueled by the wind.

“It all happened so fast. We thought there would be time to return, to save more of our belongings, but within less than just 5hours, the entire neighborhood was consumed. We grabbed our kids, our 2dogs, and left with what little we could carry,” her post said. “We were blessed to find a hotel in DTLA where we’ve been since Wed morning. While we are grateful to be safe, the pain of losing everything is overwhelming. People often say, ‘What matters most is that you’re alive.’ While that is true, it doesn’t take away the heartbreak of loss.” 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the family for comment but, understandably, they, as are many families, have a lot to do as they rebuild what they worked so hard for.

The Eaton Fire, burning in the Pasadena-Altadena area northeast of Los Angeles, is one of several fires ravaging the City of Angeles. Nearly 30,000 acres have been impacted by the fires and nearly 15,000 houses and buildings are at risk as of Thursday – up from 13,000 as of Wednesday morning. Firefighters have struggled to contain the wildfires, which are being driven by strong Santa Ana winds.
