00:00What's it like to then stand here? Heavy. You know, you start thinking about, man, it hits you so quick.
00:08This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia shared that he and his pregnant wife, Jara Mariano,
00:13have lost their Malibu home in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
00:17The actor told CBS News that his house burned down after the Palisades fire swept through their neighborhood.
00:23His family evacuated Tuesday and watched on security cameras as the flames took over their home.
00:28I think there's a kind of shock moment where you're going, oh, this is real and this is happening.
00:33And then at a certain point, we just turn it off. It's like, what good is it to continue watching?
00:39You know, we kind of accepted the loss.
00:42Mariano and Ventimiglia are also expecting their first child any day now.
00:46And the actor said they had the nursery all ready to go for their baby, making the devastation even harder to grasp.
00:51Trying to hold back tears, Ventimiglia said it's heavy returning to his home to see all the destruction.
00:56You start thinking about all the memories in the different parts of the house and whatnot.
01:00And then you see your neighbor's houses and everything kind of around.
01:05And your heart just breaks.

01:12Spoiler alert, saved his loved ones from their family's house fire.
01:16But his character ultimately died from smoke inhalation.

01:33I'm absolutely numb.
