Jamie Lee Curtis is finally back in her home almost 2 weeks after the LA fires nearly destroyed it

Jamie Lee Curtis was finally allowed to go back into her Pacific Palisades home following the devastating and ᴅᴇᴀᴅly LA fires two weeks ago.

The Last Showgirl star, 66, shared a video of a blue jay drinking from a stone water bowl in her backyard.

The dicH๏τomy of the life of the bird amid so much loss from the fires was not lost on the Halloween actress. 

‘We made it back to our intact house,’ her Instagram caption began. 

‘As we were leaving and thanking the security teams and local boys, this beautiful bluebird reminder of the nature and wildlife that live among us in our canyon was surviving in the midst of this terrible, terrifying and horrific wildfire that has taken so much, so violently,’ she wrote.

Earlier this month, Jamie appeared on the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and called the wildfires ‘f***ing gnarly’ and ‘a really awful situation.’

‘As you know, where I live is on fire right now. The entire city of Pacific Palisades is burning. I flew here last night, I was on the plane, started getting texts and it’s f***ing gnarly, you guys. It’s just a catastrophe in Southern California,’ she told Fallon. 

‘Everything: the market I shop in, the schools my kids go to. Many, many, many friends now have lost their homes. So it’s a really awful situation.’

Jamie continued: ‘So it is – it’s a really awful situation. I am, you know, obviously going to go home first thing tomorrow and be with my family and try to help my friends.

‘But it is – just so I can tell you, if you know anybody on the west coast or not, the American red cross, support them.’

Jamie also made a commitment to her community by pledging $1 million from her Family Foundation to the fire recovery efforts.

She announced her pledge on Instagram and said she had been in contact with LA governor Gavin Newson to discuss where the funds would be best used.

She wrote: ‘As the fire still rages on and @calfire @losangelesfiredepartment and all the available first responders and agencies involved in fighting fire and saving lives are still hard at work and neighbors and friends are banding together to save each other.

‘My husband and I and our children have pledged $1 million from our Family Foundation to start a fund of support for our great city and state and the great people who live and love there.’

She added: ‘I’m in communication with Governor Newsom and Mayor Bᴀss and Senator Schiff as to where those funds need to be directed for the most impact.’

While the Freaky Friday star’s home didn’t burn down so much in her community did, including the church she went to and the place she got sober in 25 years ago.

She wrote: ‘This is the church in the Palisades that had a beautiful Sunday school and school and was a gorgeous house of worship and is the building that I got sober in 25 years ago.

‘I think of all of the souls who came there for comfort and solace and all the baptisms and funerals and weddings and the thousands of people who reclaimed their lives through Sobriety.

‘Also, the women’s club in the Palisades where I met many sober people. Both are gone. Tough times. We will persevere. God bless you all.’

Tuesday marks two weeks since the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire broke out and swept through their respective neighborhoods.

The Pacific Palisades and Altadena have basically been wiped off the map from the two devastating fires that were fueled by high winds gusting up to 100mph.

The winds made fighting the fire in the initial hours of the blazes nearly impossible.

The fires have claimed 27 lives and destroyed more than 13,600 structures.

Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes. 

L.A. fire fighters are preparing for another round of high winds expected in the region from Monday through Wednesday.

As of this writing the Palisades Fire is 52% contained and the Eaton Fire is at 87% containment.
