Joshua Jackson has lost his home amid the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires.

A rep for the Doctor Odyssey star confirmed to PEOPLE on Sunday, Jan. 12 that the 46-year-old actor’s L.A. home was lost during the fires, which have destroyed thousands of structures and left multiple residents without homes.

“First and most importantly, all the people closest to me affected by the fire are OK,” Jackson said in a statement. “My daughter, my family, my neighbors all made it out safely.”

“Sadly my beautiful home did not survive the fires,” he added. “But today, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the people I love.”

Other celebrities who have lost their homes in the fires include Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Cary Elwes, Cameron Mathison, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Mel Gibson, John C. Reilly, Anthony Hopkins and Tina Knowles.

On Saturday, Jan. 11, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed that the death toll has risen to 16 — just days after the fires began.

The initial blaze first ignited in Pacific Palisades around 10:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday, Jan. 7, and since then, more than 40,000 acres have burned with more than 12,000 structures destroyed, per CalFire.

Back in September, Jackson opened up about his relationship with his daughter in an Instagram Live with Dawson’s Creek costar Sasha Alexander. At the time, he described his decision to buy back his childhood home from the man who bought it from his parents.

Jackson shares 4-year-old daughter Juno with ex Jodie Turner-Smith.

“I bought this house for my daughter,” he said, later sharing, “Something that’s become really clear to me in this year since I asked for the divorce is that I kinda thought, you know in all the dreams you have when you have a baby, the thing I wanted to model for my daughter was like, here’s two parents, here’s what a man and a woman can look like in a home, in a happy, healthy relationship.”

“But what I’ve realized in this last year is I never got to experience the love of a father. And I’m getting to experience it now. And that’s what this house is for,” he continued.

Jackson then called his daughter his “greatest gift” and his “north star,” adding that he loves “being her dad.” The actor — who was born in Vancouver but raised in Topanga, Calif., until he was 8 — previously told MR PORTER that he purchased his childhood home in 2001 and his daughter took over the bedroom he once called his.

“There was a mural of a dragon on the wall in that room that I couldn’t believe was still there, years later. The owner [who sold him the house] said, ‘I knew it meant a lot to somebody and that they were going to come back for it some day,’ ” Jackson told the outlet, adding that purchasing the home was “a very healing thing for me to do.”
