Mel Gibson loses his home to the Los Angeles-area wildfires while doing an interview with hit podcaster Joe Rogan in Austin, Texas.

Film actor and director Mel Gibson said Thursday that his Malibu home has been destroyed by the wildfires raging in the Los Angeles area, calling the experience “devastating.” “It’s emotional,” Gibson told “ Elizabeth Vargas Reports” in an interview. “I had my stuff there. I’ve been relieved from the burden of my stuff because it’s all in cinders.”

The actor revealed that the home he had lived in for over a decade was completely gone, but that his chickens had survived.

"It's obviously devastating. It's emotional," he told NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports." "You know, we have lived there for a long time."
