Christopher Lloyd’s home destroyed by wildfires
Monday, November 17, 2008
Back to the Future actor Christopher Lloyd has lost his home due to the recent spate of wildfires in Southern California. Best remembered for his role as the eccentric professor Doc Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy of movies and as crazy Jim from the 1980s TV series Taxi, Lloyd’s $11 million dollar home burned down when the wildfire ripped through the prestigious Montecito neighborhood this past weekend. Dozens of other homes were lost in the fire.
“It’s amazing, its just gone,” Lloyd said to Good Morning America this morning. “Rebuilding would be — it’s too much. You can’t rebuild that.” CNN also has a photo of the remains of his home
The Montecito enclave is located northwest of Los Angeles and also holds the homes of other well-known celebs like Oprah Winfrey, Michael Douglas and Rob Lowe.
“You watch TV, you see these kinds of incidents happening here and there, but you look with a kind of detachment because it’s happening … elsewhere,” Lloyd also added. “But suddenly to be in the midst of it — it’s a very different awareness.”
