Ricki Lake finds the idea of rebuilding her house "exhausting and paralysing"

Sharing a series of pictures featuring her loved ones at the house, she wrote on Instagram: "[Bandaged heart emojis] My home in Malibu was a sanctuary, a hub for so many friends and loved ones.

"Too many gatherings to count. Endless areas on the property to hang, dance and play. It is exhausting and paralyzing right now to try and wrap my head around how I will do it all again..... but I will. [prayer, heart, and broken heart emojis] (sic)"

The 'Hairspray' star previously spoke of her devastation at losing her "dream home" to the fires.

She wrote on Instagram: It's all gone. [heartbroken emoji] I can't believe I am typing these words.

"After a valiant and brave effort by our friend and hero @kirbykotler_ Ross and I lost our dream home. This description 'dream home' doesn't suffice. It was our heaven on earth. The place where we planned to grow old together. We never took our heavenly spot on the bluff overlooking our beloved malibu for granted, not even for one second. I shared our sunset views almost daily with all of you.

"This loss is immeasurable. It's the spot where we got married 3 years ago.

"I grieve along with all of those suffering during this apocalyptic event. Praying for all of my neighbors, my friends, my community, the animals, the firefighters and first responders.

"More to share soon of how we escaped with Dolly and not much else. For now I grieve. [three broken heart emojis] (sic)"

Ricki also shared her astonishment that celebrity medium Tyler Henry had predicted the tragedy when she and Ross appeared on his show 'Live from The Other Side' just a few months ago.

Sharing a clip of her appearance on the Netflix show, she wrote on Instagram: "The great @tylerhenrymedium called it! Less than three months ago, on Oct 15th, 2024 Ross and I were on Tyler's show and guys, he SAW the fire.

"The show is on @netflix. I urge you to watch it. #livefromtheothersidewithtylerhenry Omg.

"Praying for all those impacted by this ongoing nightmare, including my new friend, @tylerhenrymedium and @rachaelharris whose homes I hear may be at risk.(sic)"

In the clip shared by Ricki, in which she looked visibly shaken, Tyler said: "If there was a loss of material objects from a fire and water, that's the kind of weird distinction - it's two separate things...

"So we're going to end up finding there's a story, where like, there was a house fire or something along those lines.

"There's just something about watching water seep into a place that it shouldn't and damaging things."
