Mark Hamill is relieved that his house survived the Palisades Fire.

The “Star Wars” actor, 73, shared the good news on Instagram Saturday with an aerial photo of the wreckage of his neighborhood.

Only a few houses, including his own, were still standing after the blaze.

“Thanks to all who were concerned if our house survived the fires,” Hamill wrote. “Amazingly enough… it did.”

He expressed his sympathy for those less fortunate, not just in his own community, but throughout all of Los Angeles. He conveyed a message of unity, stating, “Together, we will overcome this challenge! ❤️.”

Hamill received support from fans in the comments section of his post.

“Mark so glad your home was spared,” one fan wrote.

“The force is with you Luke,” another person quipped.

“Thank God 🙏✨your home is okay,” someone else said.

Hamill was one of thousands of people who were forced to evacuate their homes in Malibu on Tuesday as the Palisades Fire spread through the area.

Describing his hasty departure from his residence, he shared with his followers that he left so hurriedly that there were small fires burning on both sides of the road as he made his way to the Pacific Coast Highway.

Hamill confirmed that he and his wife, Marilou York, and their dog, Trixie, safely made it to his daughter Chelsea’s house in Hollywood.

“Most horrific fire since ’93,” he added about the blaze.

On Friday night, Hamill shared a nighttime aerial photo of LA County covered in flames and smoke.

Reflecting on the overwhelming destruction he had witnessed over the past 48 hours, he admitted to still feeling shocked by the immense losses suffered by many in such a brief span of time. He expressed his emotions by stating, “#NoWords 💔.”

The Palisades Fire, which started Tuesday, is the most destructive blaze in LA’s history.

According to news updates on Sunday, the fire has devoured over 23,000 acres and is 11% contained.

The Eaton Fire, which is the second-largest fire in the area, has burned across 14,000 acres and is 15% contained.

The Hurst Fire is still burning at 89% containment, while the Lidia Fire, Sunset Fire and Kenneth Fire are all fully contained.

The California wildfires have led to at least 16 deaths, while nearly 200,000 people are displaced.

Dozens of celebrities have lost their homes in the fires, including Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, Jeff Bridges, Anna Faris, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Ricki Lake and Mandy Moore.

Other stars who evacuated, but their homes are seemingly still standing, include Britney Spears, Ben Affleck, James Woods and the Kardashians.

The cause of the fires is under investigation.
