Zooey Deschanel Shared That Her Family’s Home Was Destroyed Because of the Fires

Jonathan Scott’s fiancee Zooey Deschanel revealed that her parents’ home in the Palisades was lost to the fire. In a January 18 Instagram upload, Deschanel noted that she and her sister Emily Deschanel were raised in the home, which she described as “cozy and lovely and unique and perfect to [her].”

“The Christmas dinners, Easter egg hunts, trick or treating, weddings, birthdays, baby showers… we celebrated the best moments of our lives there. The family photos that lined the hallways, the artwork, the piano I learned to play on, the wedding china, the furniture my great great grandfather built… the reminders of generations past: All have vanished into thin air,” wrote Deschanel in the post’s caption.

She also encouraged her followers to “do something for someone who has lost their home.”

“Just a text or a call? Or if you’re able to- I’d be honored if you supported the LA firefighters relief association, which supports our firefighters, and/or Baby2Baby which has been supplying underserved communities who have been affected by the fires with essentials,” wrote Deschanel.

Scott reacted to his fiancee’s post in the comments section. In his comment, he promised to help restore Deschanel’s childhood home.

“so many fond memories. Absolutely heartbreaking. Know that I will do whatever it takes to restore its original beauty to the best of my abilities. Nothing can replace the beauty and history of the original home. But it’s the best way we can honor it. ❤️,” commented Scott.
