As a result of the California wildfires many people were forced to flee and have lost their homes or even their lives.
Friday saw Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson take to social media to reveal that he had lost his home, but offered they were safe.
Saturday saw Derrickson offer up an update on Twitter thanking people for their support, and he posted images of his burned and destroyed home.
“Just a quick update to say that I’m overwhelmed by the incredible outpouring of love and support,” he said via Twitter. “Thank you to everyone who messaged me, and for the dozens upon dozens of you who offered us a place to stay. We are blessed and grateful to be safe and so loved.”
Derrickson added, “I’m not trying to be optimistic about losing literally everything — I’m just not materialistic by nature. To me it’s just stuff. It’s harder for my boys, losing items that have profound memory meaning. But this loss and whipsaw change will become a source of growth for all of us.”

A friend drove to my home while it was smoldering and took this mesmerizing pic. The interior is cooked but the sole fireman needs to ensure that other homes in my neighborhood don’t catch fire.

Thank God and this firefighter, they didn’t. pic.twitter.com/lXhTZQvYsq
German director Wim Wenders has known and loved my 15-year-old since the latter was born.

Yesterday, Wim told my son, “Hold on to your memories; no one can burn them.”
I found this rock, as is, while off-trail hiking years ago. A few weeks ago I stuck it in my son’s backpack and forgot about it. He just just now found it: pic.twitter.com/9K6ssTMUuR

Tomorrow we will dig through the rubble with gloves and puncture-proof boots.

But today, unbelievably, these are the only items we found perfectly intact: pic.twitter.com/Vcz6hYEbEd
