The Sad Reason Christopher Lloyd Lost His Home In 2008

Christopher Lloyd’s multi-million dollar home was among the thousands of homes destroyed by the series of wildfires that took place in Southern California in November 2008. The actor joined dozens of Montecito residents who lost their homes as fire ripped through the exclusive celebrity neighborhood in Los Angeles, where Oprah Winfrey, Michael Douglas, and Rob Lowe also own homes (via CNN). “Windows were blown out” and “entire sections” of his mansion — valued at $11 million — were “demolished,” according to the report. “It’s amazing, it’s just gone,” Lloyd said during an appearance on “Good Morning America.” “Rebuilding would be — it’s too much. You can’t rebuild that.”

“You watch TV, you see these kinds of incidents happening here and there, but you look with a kind of detachment because it’s happening … elsewhere,” he continued. “But suddenly to be in the midst of it — it’s a very different awareness.” Despite the tragedy, Lloyd was able to poke fun at his situation, sharing that he’d been planning on reorganizing his home, but never got around to it. “Kind of don’t have to worry about that now,” he added.

The Montecito blaze, also known as the “Tea Fire,” was the first of several wildfires that broke out in SoCal in November 2008, followed by the Sayre Fire and the Freeway Complex Fire. It was caused by a group of college students who held a bonfire party at the abandoned Tea House on November 12, per Independent. The wildfire ended up destroying a total of 210 residential and commercial structures, and damaged nine others, according to a California Fire report.
