Joshua Jackson rebuilds home for 4-year-old daughter Juno after LA wildfires destroy his childhood home

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Joshua Jackson is finding solace in rebuilding after the Los Angeles wildfires destroyed his childhood home, where he had been raising his four-year-old daughter, Juno.

Appearing on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' on March 4, Jackson shared his emotional journey of loss, reflection, and hope.

Joshua Jackson reflects on losing his childhood home

Speaking about his home that was destroyed in the wildfires, Joshua Jackson recalled, "It is my childhood home, and it is the place that I’ve lived, on and off, for the last 25 years."

"For the last four and three-quarters years, as she likes to tell me now, it has been the place where my daughter and I lived. So, not great," he added.

In January, the wildfires ravaged thousands of structures across LA, including Jackson's residence.

Despite the devastation, he expressed gratitude that his loved ones remained unharmed.

"First and most importantly, all the people closest to me affected by the fire are OK. Sadly, my beautiful home did not survive," he said in a statement.

"But today, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the people I love," he added.

In an interview with Mr Porter in 2021, Jackson shared, "My father, unfortunately, was not a good father or a husband and exited the scene, but that house in Topanga was where everything felt simple, so it was a very healing thing for me to do."

Joshua Jackson is 'excited' to build a new house

During his interview, Joshua Jackson described the surreal moment of standing in front of his home, still smoldering.

"I’m looking at it, and I’m like, ‘This bears no relation to my home. This is just a pile of stuff that burned in a fire,'" he reflected.

However, Jackson sees the loss as an opportunity.

"That house has given me so much over the years, heartbreak, joy, a baby, just life," he said.

"Every floorboard is a piece of my story. And I’m excited to build a new house that doesn’t have all of Daddy’s history in it, but is for her and me," he shared.

"When she grows up, every floorboard will have her story in it."

Though Jackson acknowledges that this isn’t the way he would have chosen to start over, he embraces the chance to create a home that symbolizes a new beginning for him and Juno.

"In some ways, I’m actually excited about the process," he concluded, according to People.
