On Saturday, Joe Lando, Seymour's former "Dr. Quinn" co-star, shared on Instagram that the 73-year-old actress had welcomed him and his family into her home after they lost their residence in the Palisades Fire.

"I wanted to inform everyone who has been contacting us about our situation in the Palisades. The Lando family is still together. Fortunately, there are kind people in the world. We have lost everything, but we are grateful for each other. My friend Jane Seymour welcomed us into her home without hesitation and provided us with a place to stay."

Lando and Seymour shared the screen in "Dr. Quinn" for six seasons from 1993 to 1998 and have remained close friends since. They recently reunited in the 2022 Lifetime movie, "A Christmas Spark."

Lando, in a tearful video, described the difficulties faced by those in the surrounding area. Despite having electricity restored after three days, they still lack gas. Moreover, he stated that the water and air are now poisonous due to the recent incident.

"Thankfully, there are angels in this world. We’re left with nothing, except each other. My friend Jane Seymour allowed us to come up to her house and opened it up for us without any hesitation and, thank God, gave us some place to come and sleep." — Joe Lando

Early December saw the Franklin Fire pose a threat to the area near Seymour's home in Malibu, prompting the actress to evacuate.

"I've never experienced anything like this before. It's impossible to put into words. Watching others go through similar situations on TV makes you think, 'Oh my God, that must be so terrible. Thank God it's not me,'" he said later in the video. "If it was just us, I'd be okay with this. But it's everyone. It's everything. I'm just devastated and heartbroken for everyone, all the people we know. They don't have homes."

Lando countered the online dialogue about the wealthy mentality of the neighborhood, stating, "The majority of this area does not possess such financial stability."

He emphasized that the fire affected everyone equally, stating that in such a situation, "There is no distinction between rich and poor, white and black, brown and red or blue. This fire is destructive and will eliminate everything."

"He stated that most individuals are simply diligent individuals who have resided in the area for many years. His wife's parents lived nearby, or did, and lost their home after 40 years. Although their house was not grandiose, it was their home and he put in a lot of effort to improve it."

In the video, Lando tearfully thanks "all those who have been so generous" to him and his family during this difficult time, and vows to pay the kindness forward.

"I wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who has been so kind. We are being taken care of, and we are trying to help others as well. He concluded by saying, 'Just pray for everyone. This is getting worse before it gets better. I know we'll make it through. This will leave a deep scar. God bless you all.'"
