On Sunday, Jan. 12, the Paper Moon actress, 61, revealed on Threads that her father Ryan O’Neal’s home has been destroyed in the L.A. fires.

“It’s the saddest ever so sad I could cry. My father’s house is gone Malibu gone,” Tatum wrote.

“Gone gone gone gone. It’s so scary. I am so freaking sad,” Tatum said, reacting to a clip from a news report shared on Threads.

The blaze at the Love Story actor’s home comes just two years after he died in December 2023 from “congestive heart failure” at age 82.

It was previously reported that he was buried next to his long-time partner Farrah Fawcett at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary in Los Angeles.

The couple, who began dating in 1979, had an off-and-on relationship until her death at age 62 in 2009.

The destruction of the property comes as over 80,000 people have been displaced due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. Ricki LakeMel Gibson and Heidi Montag are among the celebrities whose homes have been destroyed amid the blaze.

While many evacuees have lost their homes, the fires have led to a number of deaths, as well. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner revealed on Sunday that the death toll has risen to 24 people.

Over 70 firefighters from Mexico and many from Canada have arrived in California and are receiving training to be able to help contain the flames.

“They’ve done their classroom portion on the safety aspects of wildland firefighting, and they’re out here today practicing their shelter appointments in the event they were to be in trapped by fire they would have a good understanding of what their last resort survivability would be,” Curtis Rhodes, the Cal Fire public information officer told NBC on Sunday.
