Spelling of Tori knows she’s lucky her house is still standing after evacuating During the LA firesbut she wasn’t sure what she was entering.
“I walk through our front door. You guys, I’m not an alarmist,” Spelling, 51, began the Friday, Jan. 24, episode of She Podcast “misspelling”. “I walked in and gasped.”
After seeing the status of his house, Spelling’s first thought was that someone had looted the house. But that’s not exactly what happened.
“(I thought), ‘While we were gone, out of town, evacuated, someone came into our house and burglarized our house. There have been looters here. Look at the condition of the house,” she said. “There was S— everywhere. I mean, it seemed like people had come in and were just trashing our house. Then, after some inspection, I realized, oh s—, no, it’s just the way I live. »
Spelling explained to podcast listeners that She took her five children – Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, 7 – and evacuated to an Airbnb in Camarillo, which is north of Los Angeles. (Fires that started in Los Angeles earlier this month have burned more than 50,000 acres of land with several stars Having lost their home.)
“That’s when it really hit me that when all this stuff sets in, I know it’s just stuff. I saw the devastation, the loss, the friends, the families, the people displaced, the people who lost everything,” Spelling continued. “When you’re fortunate enough that you still have your house and you still have your stuff, it really put it into perspective that it’s like, God, I have so much stuff.”
The actress said she was “happy” and “excited” to donate some of her personal belongings to those in need following the fires.
“I’m really ready to do this — especially all of this on the heels of me having my hoarding episode — I really haven’t had the time, but I’m ready to let things go,” Spelling explained. “Everyone around us in LA, losing their stuff and needing stuff. Especially being back in town now, we can help donate all of our stuff that we can get out and give it to people who have lost things. »
She added: “Walking in and not recognizing your own house that you haven’t been in for a week, because you’ve been in this nice Airbnb that’s all clean. …Anyway, my point is that I walked into my house and I didn’t recognize my house, because it was in such a state of disaster that I thought someone had looted it. »
Spelling quickly realized that nothing actually happened while he was gone.
“I looked around and all my stuff was still there,” she said. “All our stuff was still there. It was just everywhere.
