However, he later\u2064 shared\u2062 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">social media<\/a> that a &#8220;miracle&#8221; \u200dhad occurred: his home\u2062 was still standing amidst the destruction around it. Woods \u200cdescribed the state of his property\u200b as \u2062relative to the complete destruction of nearby homes, with significant smoke and damage but not total \u200dloss. His emotional reaction was contrasted by the earlier announcement of his \u2062presumed loss, which <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">drew mixed responses online<\/a>, including some\u200b celebrating his misfortune. Following the news of \u200bhis home\u2019s survival, there was a public outcry that highlighted accountability for the wildfires, notably towards California officials.Despite the widespread devastation in the Pacific Palisades area, Woods expressed gratitude for\u2062 his unexpected fortune.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Actor James Woods thought he had lost everything in the California wildfires, but his home is still standing.<\/p>\n<p>Woods caught the attention of the public for <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/atrupar\/status\/1877038067543900278\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his appearance<\/a> on CNN on Wednesday where he visibly broke down, overcome with emotion in believing his house and entire property <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/leftists-sickening-response-conservative-actor-james-woods-home-burns-california-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had been destroyed<\/a> in the Pacific Palisades fire.<\/p>\n<p>Woods was able to make it home Friday, when he posted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X that a &ldquo;miracle has happened.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A miracle has happened.
