The Pacific Palisades was devastated by the wildfires in Los Angeles, Calif., impacting many of its A-list residents.
However, actress Sally Field's property survived the natural disaster, even when the homes near hers caught on fire.
However, actress Sally Field's property survived the natural disaster, even when the homes near hers caught on fire.
Field took to Instagram on Tuesday, January 14, to grieve for her city, revealing that she didn't know at the time that her estate was still intact.
"This is the progression of what I saw over the last week from when I could see the beginning of the fire from my backyard," the Oscar winner wrote while sharing photos of the city on fire.
"I got out with my dog and the clothes on my back when the flames started coming over the ridge," she shared when describing her evacuation experience. "I haven't seen what remains of my home, though I think it might have survived thanks to three heroes in my neighborhood, Fred, Mike and Randy. I have not enough words. For any of it."
Field, who purchased her residence in 2012, has been a lifelong Angeleno.
"I know my neighborhood has been decimated," the Brothers & Sisters star told her Instagram followers. "My heart is with everyone affected by these fires and my enduring gratitude to the heroes, the men and women on the front lines fighting the fires."
"I was born in Altadena, I live in the Palisades, my heart is with my beloved Los Angeles, My hometown," she concluded.
Anthony Hopkins, Miles Teller, Anna Faris and more Pacific Palisades residents lost their homes in early January.
The Eaton and Palisades fires continue to be the most catastrophic in Southern Californian history, and local firefighters and government have yet to find a way to stop the City of Angels from the scorching winds.

California governor Gavin Newsom discussed the severe weather on Wednesday, January 8.
"This is a highly dangerous windstorm that's creating extreme fire risk — and we're not out of the woods. We're already seeing the destructive impacts with this fire in Pacific Palisades that grew rapidly in a matter of minutes," Newsom said in a statement.
"Our deepest thanks go to our expert firefighters and first responders who jumped quickly into fighting this dangerous fire," he continued. "If you're in Southern California, please pay attention to weather reports and follow any guidance from emergency officials."
