“When I walk through my house, I almost feel guilty,” she added. “You know, what can I do? How can I help? What can I offer? What can I offer with these hands and these walls and the safety that I have?”

Steve Guttenberg revealed that while touring homes after the Palisades fire, he discovered that his house had survived the fire.

In an interview with The Associated Press, the actor said he had mixed feelings about the fact that his home had survived when so many other people’s properties were destroyed.

“Just this morning, I woke up and I was really aware of my state of mind and my mental health because I’ve seen so much tragedy in the past three days,” Guttenberg said. He told the media that his home has electricity , but no running water.

Guttenberg thanked God for making his neighborhood safe, but he said his neighborhood of 80 homes, including about 20 houses were burned “quite seriously”.

He told The Associated Press it was the worst fire he had ever seen in his life. Guttenberg returned to his community to help others who remained with rescue efforts. The “Police Academy” star helped move cars to clear the streets, distribute food and help neighbors get out of their homes.

“I’ve seen people being scared, people in wheelchairs, parents trying to find their children, people having anxiety and panic attacks,” Guttenberg said.

“All these houses behind me were burned down and their families were enjoying their time with friends and family,” he added. “There’s definitely a lot of pain right now. I’m doing everything I can to help alleviate it.”

Guttenberg said he’s not sure how the film and TV industry will help as awards season begins.

“Everyone is doing what normal people do – helping each other, giving each other food and water, helping each other in their backyards, front yards,” he said. “Even if someone’s an actor, a producer, a writer, a director, we’re all just human beings… Maybe people can donate to some kind of fund at some point. But I’m just trying to be a good neighbor right now.”
