Sarah Levy is heartbroken after losing her home in the Los Angeles wildfires

She wrote on Instagram: "Oh, my sweet home. My heart so deeply aches.

"What I would give to hear the key slide in the front door one more time or the baby gate click behind me as I bring the laundry upstairs.

"To hear the garbage truck outside every Tuesday and watch James run to the window to watch. To smell the eucalyptus and the roses and the rosemary."

The 38-year-old star - who played Twyla Sands in the beloved sitcom - reflected on her life in the neighbourhood before the Pacific Palisades blaze claimed her home.

She continued: "To see the fog roll in in the early morning or the hawks soaring above the yard or the twinkling of lights from the houses across the canyon at night.

"To run into friends daily because it was that small a town. To search for baby strawberries next door.

"How blessed we were to raise our son in such an idyllic, magical place away from the hustle and bustle of LA."

Sarah noted she and her husband had been planning their "whole future", but she is staying hopeful.

She concluded: "Our whole future ahead, planned in our little kitchen.

"Luckily we are all safe and if this has taught me nothing else, it's to appreciate every last detail of your life.

"I know we'll be back and the Palisades will be more vibrant and lush and full of life than ever. We'll wait until then."

Her brother, actor and co-star Dan Levy, simply replied: "Love you."

Their dad Eugene recently described seeing the fires across LA after being forced to evacuate his home earlier this month.

He told the LA Times newspaper: "The smoke looked pretty black and intense over Temescal Canyon. I couldn't see any flames but the smoke was very dark."
