Mel Gibson, who won two Oscars for his work on Braveheart, lost his luxury pad in Malibu, California, during the devastating wildfires raging through parts of the state

Film actor and director Mel Gibson said Thursday that his Malibu home has been destroyed by the wildfires raging in the Los Angeles area, calling the experience “devastating.” “It’s emotional,” Gibson told “ Elizabeth Vargas Reports” in an interview. “I had my stuff there. I’ve been relieved from the burden of my stuff because it’s all in cinders.”

The actor is in good spirits though, joking, "I went home and I said to myself, ‘Well at least I haven’t got any of those pesky plumbing problems anymore.'"

The controversial actor said his property "looked like Dresden" after bombing in World War II due to the fires raging in Southern California.

The actor said that he would "be surprised" if his home in Malibu was still standing as the fires continued to burn.

"It's obviously devastating. It's emotional," he told NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports." "You know, we have lived there for a long time."
