TOP GUN: MAVERICK Star Details Losing Home to Palisades Fire
By Movieguide® Contributor
Actor Miles Teller opened up about the pain that he and his wife Keleigh have experienced since losing their home in the Palisades Fire last month.
“Many people have reached out, just either letting us that they’re there emotionally or people are offering us their places,” Teller told E! News. “I’m a Deadhead, and so I’ve had a lot of people reach out to Keleigh like, ‘I want to send Miles a Grateful Dead shirt.’”
“Little stuff just means a lot, so it’s been very heartwarming,” he added.
While Teller and his wife are extremely grateful for the love and support they have received from their friends and their family since the tragedy, Keleigh shared one item from the fire that was especially hard to lose, because nobody can bring it back.
“To everyone reaching out I can’t thank you enough, your kind hearts have meant the world, I’ll never forget them,” Keleigh wrote on Instagram, per The Hollywood Reporter. “Community has come out stronger than I could imagine, Pacific Palisades I love you beyond measure. You are a little slice of heaven, we will come back stronger than ever…I wish I grabbed my wedding dress…wish I did a lot differently.”
“When everything goes and you have each other, it’s very emotional,” Miles added. “When you lose your home, you’re part of a club nobody wants to be a part of. We know it’s not an immediate sense of relief. And so, we’re just there for one another.”
The Palisades Fire erupted on Jan. 7 and was one of multiple across the L.A. area. These fires scorched tens of thousands of acres, burning thousands of buildings and causing billions of dollars in damage. While the fire is now fully contained, it will take years to rebuild everything that was lost.
