Actor Milo Ventimiglia has revealed his family's Malibu home burnt down in the Los Angeles fires — an eerie reflection of the tragedy that befell his character on the NBC drama series "This Is Us."
Ventimiglia, a 47-year-old father to be, is among the celebrities affected by the destructive blazes that broke out this week amid powerful winds. He spoke to CBS News while returning home for the first time after evacuating to survey the damage on his scorched street.
Although neighbors had already told him his home had been destroyed, seeing it in person made it real.

The threat of tornadoes moved east into the Mississippi Valley and Deep South on Saturday, a day after a massive storm system moving across the country unleashed winds that damaged buildings, whipped up dust storms that caused deadly crashes and fanned more than 100 wildfires in several central states.

When the Environmental Protection Agency was formed in 1970, its mission was to protect the environment and human health. Since then, scientists, health experts and advocates have worked to implement regulations aimed at protecting and cleaning the air we breathe and the water we drink. Many of these regulations, which were aimed at cleaning up the air, also helped reduce carbon emissions, which can contribute to climate change – so it was a win for our bodies and the planet.
