    Melissa Rivers is putting on a brave face amid the traumatic Los Angeles wildfires

    The 56-year-old actress - who is the daughter of late comedienne Joan Rivers and producer Edgar Rosenberg - lost her home in the devastating infernos but because she has had to deal with sudden loss on multiple occasions in her life, she has decided to hold back the tears for now.


    She told People: "I've only had two little cries so far. One for five minutes, and the other for about 20. But I'm one of those people who has twice gone through the experience of going to bed one way and then you wake up with your life upside down. First with my father [who took his own life in 1987], and then when I lost my mom.

    "I know that I have to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. There'll be time to really cry later."

    The former 'Fashion Police' host - whose mother passed away from complications that followed routine throat surgery in 2014 at the age of 81 - admitted that she is "still in shock " from the events that unfolded on January 9 that left he without her home.

    She said: "It's crazy to look down and realize that everything you own in life has been stuffed into three LL Bean Tote bags. It's all just so surreal. I think I'm still in shock."

    Melissa - who has 24-year-old son Cooper with her ex-husband John Endicott - took to social media amid the onslaught of the fires to reveal to fans that she and her family had been "safely evacuated" but were "heartbroken" by the situation.

    She wrote on Instagram:" My family and I have safely evacuated and we are deeply grateful to be unharmed. I am heartbroken by the devastation caused by the fires, which have tragically destroyed my home.

    "I want to express my profound gratitude to the courageous firefighters and first responders who are tirelessly risking their lives to protect our communities and save lives."
