    James Woods believes he's been "chosen to help others" following the Los Angeles wildfires

    The 77-year-old actor's home narrowly escaped being destroyed by the devastating wildfires in southern California, and James is now turning his attention towards helping and supporting his neighbours


    The actor - who has been married to his wife Sara since 2021 - wrote on X: "Still reading the emails from my friends who subscribe to my website. The personal tone of every single one, whether a simple sentiment of support, or a story of similar devastation and survival, has given Sara and me the courage to pay it forward in so many ways. Our miraculous good fortune is surely a sign that we were chosen to help others. The inspiration gleaned from your passionate and authentic missives will be the bedrock of that mission. Thank you."

    James recently admitted to feeling "happy and grateful" after his home survived the wildfires.

    The actor initially assumed that his property had been destroyed - but James felt a huge sense of relief when he returned to his neighbourhood and discovered that his home was still standing.

    The actor wrote on X: "A miracle has happened. We managed to get to our property and our home, that we were told is gone forever, is still standing. In this hellish landscape "standing" is relative, but smoke and other damage is not like the utter destruction around us."

    Despite this, James admitted to having mixed feelings, with so many of his neighbours having lost their homes in the wildfires.

    He wrote on the micro-blogging platform: "So many beautiful messages from all of you. I'm so happy and grateful, but honestly the entire area looks like the dark side of the moon. It's so fundamentally gut-wrenching and upsetting, it's almost hard to celebrate the joyous news that our home survived."
