Steve Kerr, a member of the Warriors, shares that his childhood home was destroyed in the California wildfires, leaving him feeling surreal and devastated.

Steve Kerr, the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, confirmed on Thursday that his childhood home, which his parents bought more than 50 years ago, has been completely destroyed by the wildfires raging in Southern California.

Kerr, speaking to the media before the game against the Detroit Pistons, reacted to the devastation caused by the wildfires that ravaged his family's home in Pacific Palisades.

Kerr stated, "Although my family is safe, my mom's house has been lost, making things challenging."

"Pacific Palisades appears to have been completely destroyed, leaving a surreal and devastating scene. However, fortunately, almost everyone managed to escape. Rebuilding and turning Pacific Palisades into a thriving community again is difficult to comprehend. It's simply astonishing."

As a result of multiple wildfires, at least seven people have died and thousands of people have evacuated their homes. Over 10,000 structures from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena have been burned down due to strong winds continuing to fuel the fires.

This past summer, my mom's 90th birthday was celebrated at the house my parents bought in 1969, where I was just there for dinner two weeks ago.

The NBA coach, who has been in the league for many years, stated that although his loved ones are safe, the loss is "unbearable."

"The loss of property is a different matter from the loss of life."

On Tuesday, the largest fire in Pacific Palisades started. Officials reported on Thursday evening that the containment was at 6%.
