Chrissy Metz gave an update on how her former This Is Us costar Mandy Moore is faring six months after the L.A. wildfires that destroyed much of her home.

Speaking to Extra on Friday, July 18, Metz, 44, confirmed Moore, 41, and her family are “doing well” as they continue to pick up the pieces.

“She’s doing well. I mean, thank goodness,” Metz told the outlet. “A lot of the structure was able to be salvaged, which is great, but it’s so jarring. It’s so life-altering, and she has children and pets. It’s just frightening because there’s nothing you can do but hopefully get out of there.”

In January, Moore shared via her Instagram that her home in Altadena, which she shared with husband, Taylor Goldsmith, and Gus, 4, Ozzie, 2, and Lou, 10 months, had been destroyed. She added that while the “main part” of her home was still standing, it was “not livable” after being affected by the fires which also destroyed more than 16,000 combined structures.

“We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now,” she wrote via Instagram. “It’s not livable but mostly intact. We lost Taylor and [brother-in-law Griffin Goldsmith’s] studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they’ve ever owned. We lost our garage and back house.”

In May, Moore again took to Instagram to share an update on her home, slamming Los Angeles County for all the “red tape” involved in the rebuilding process.

“Thanks, LA County for making it as frustrating and impossible to rebuild after the fires as possible,” Moore wrote via an Instagram Story statement. “Shouldn’t be surprised but it’s mind boggling the red tape and hoops they’re putting us all through.”

Moore’s This Is Us onscreen husband, Milo Ventimiglia, also lost his Malibu home to the fires in January. His wife Jarah Mariano was heavily pregnant at the time. (The couple has since welcomed their first child, daughter Ke’ala Coral Ventimiglia.)

Ventimiglia’s This Is Us character, Jack Pearson, infamously died from smoke inhalation after the fictional family home burned down, making the real-life loss seem like an eerie coincidence – an experience which Ventimiglia himself acknowledged at the time.

“You know, it’s not lost on me, life imitating art,” he told CBS News in January, adding that the loss of his home felt “heavy.”

The actor continued, “You start thinking about all the memories in different parts of the house and what not and then you see your neighbor’s houses and everything kind of around and your heart just breaks.”
