Chrissy Metz says her former This Is Us costar Mandy Moore is “doing well,” following January’s horrific Eaton Fire.
The fire was one of a series of wildfires in Los Angeles that left more than 80,000 people displaced and destroyed more than 1,000 structures in January. The deadly blaze ignited on Jan. 7 and was not fully contained until Jan. 31, along with the Palisades Fire.
At the time of the catastrophic event, Moore and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, were actually renovating their property. According to an Instagram post from fellow designer Emily Farnham, the kitchen had just been completed in December 2024–just one month before the fires.
Now, six months after the Eaton Fire, Metz shared in a recent interview that Moore is “doing well,” all things considered.
“I mean, thank goodness. A lot of the structure was able to be salvaged, which is great, but it’s so jarring,” she told Extra. “It’s so life-altering, and she has children and pets,” Metz said, referring to Moore’s three kids: August “Gus” Harrison, 4, Oscar “Ozzie” Bennett, 1, and Louise Everett, 10 months.
“It’s just frightening because there’s nothing you can do but hopefully get out of there. But she’s doing well,” Metz continued.
Just a few days after the fires began, Moore revealed to her Instagram followers: “The main part of our house is still standing. For now. It’s not livable but mostly intact. We lost Taylor and griffin’s studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they’ve ever owned. We lost our garage and back house.”
A month later though, Moore gave another update on her home, explaining, “We found out this week that while our house is still standing, because of the proximity to the fires/ burning structures (around us on all sides) the contents of our home are a near total loss…Clothes, furniture, pretty much everything will have to be disposed of…maybe even the walls too,” she added.
Despite the complete devastation, Moore shared in March that she was ready to start rebuilding her home again. She did so by sharing an Instagram post by her interior designer, Sarah Sherman Samuel, which featured photographs of the guest house kitchen that was once a part of her home.
“I miss this space and our home and Altadena immensely so I’m looking forward to rebuilding version 2.0 with @sarahshermansamuel, @emilyfarnhamarchitecture and @bronstruction,” she wrote at the time.
