Hallmark Alums Who Lost Homes in L.A. Wildfires Reveal Few Belongings That Remain

Less than two months after losing their homes to the devastating wildfires that blazed through Los Angeles in January 2025, multiple Hallmark Channel alums have revealed a handful of items they were able to save or replace after losing most of their belongings.

On February 21, California Governor Gavin Newsom requested nearly $40 billion in aid from Congress, per CBS News. The fires burned 37,469 acres, destroyed over 15,000 structures, and killed 29 people, the outlet said.

Multiple Hallmark actors lost their homes in the fires, including “The Chicken Stars” actress Schuyler Fisk, “Round and Round” star Bryan Greenberg, “Hannah Swensen Mysteries” alum Cameron Mathison, and “Hailey Dean Mysteries” alum Chad Lowe. Since their homes burned to the ground, several Hallmark alums have said they managed to salvage or replace a few treasured items.

Bryan Greenberg Says He Knew Photo Albums He Grabbed Were ‘Things I Won’t Get Back’

Greenberg, who starred in 2023’s Hallmark hit “Round and Round” and will star in NBC’s “Suits LA” when it premieres on February 23, managed to save a few photo albums, he told People on February 20.

The actor, 46, told the outlet, “It was weird during the fires because you have to grab something, and you’re like, ‘What do I get?’ I just grabbed all these photo albums. So that was a little nostalgic. That’s the only thing that, in your time of crisis, it’s like, what are you going to take? I was like, ‘These are things I won’t get back.'”

On January 28, Greenberg’s wife, actress Jamie Chung, shared on Instagram that navigating the aftermath of the wildfires has been a “never ending emotional rollercoaster.” The couple shares three-year-old twin sons, per People.

“Grateful for having a safe place to rest our heads, for the community that came to rally behind those who lost everything including those who lost loved ones; humans and pets,” she wrote. “Grateful for my kids that keep me busy, forcing me to put on a brave face.”

“Anxious for the long road ahead and this insurance nightmare,” she continued. “But grateful to have insurance. Saddened that others couldn’t afford the climbing prices or whom were dropped by insurers all together. Accepting that this emotional wave will continue for months if not years; despair, loss, grief, anger, anxiety, gratitude, and hope. Continuing to embrace all the feels. Life around us doesn’t stop, it won’t stop. Grateful to be alive. So one step at a time right? Right.”

Chad Lowe & Cameron Mathison Are Grateful for Friends Who’ve Loaned & Replaced Items, From Clothes to Dishes

On February 21, Lowe posted an Instagram photo with actress Marlee Matlin and indicated that she’d helped him replace some treasured items he lost in the wildfires, though he didn’t reveal what they were.

He wrote, “Nothing like the comfort of a longtime friendship! I adore you @themarleematlin!❤️
And thank you for the most thoughtful gift, replacing 21 items I diligently collected over the years!!”

Lowe also received clothes from his older brother, actor Rob Lowe, who told Entertainment Tonight in late January, “He got a lot of big brother hand-me-downs — he’s back to being 15 years old.”

On January 22, Mathison mourned losing many of his family’s precious photos, writing on Instagram, “The loss of irreplaceable items hurts the most… the kid’s baby photos, their yearly school photos, elementary school art projects the kids gave to us for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, portraits we took when both kids were 5 days old. the journals we all wrote during our family vacations, Leila’s song writing journal she’s been working on since 7th grade, and every single beautifully written card Lucas and Leila ever gave us was lost…and each day we remember more things that are gone.”

Mathison shared on February 18 that he has moved into a rental condo in Silver Lake, California, that now includes a sofa “donated” to him by actress Eva LaRue, dishes and towels given to him by friends, and a Buddha statue that survived the fire.

“I’m so grateful to have a place to stay,” he said in the video. “It makes it a lot easier.”
