Johnny Galecki has revealed that he has suffered a devastating fire at his home in California. He added that nobody was hurt in the blaze and that he was not at home at the time of the incident. The actor, who is known for playing Leonard Hofstadter in The Big Bang Theory, lives on a ranch that is situated between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
A spokesperson for the actor said that Galecki has yet to visit the scene and is instead waiting until the fire is fully under control. A statement from the local fire department said that the blaze is currently 60% under control.
The full statement from Galecki read as follows:
‘My heart goes out to all in the area who are also experiencing loss from this vicious fire, the threat of which we live with constantly, which may seem crazy to some but we do so because living in our beautiful, rural area makes it worthwhile.
It’s never the structures that create a community – it’s the people. And if the people of Santa Margarita have taught me anything it’s that, once the smoke has cleared, literally and figuratively, it’s a time to reach out and rebuild.
We’ve done it before, and will need to do it together again, and it will make our community even closer and stronger. Endless thanks to CalFire and the Sheriff’s Office. I know you guys are fighting the good fight to keep us safe. So very relieved no one has been hurt.’
