Actor and singer Mandy Moore on Thursday detailed the damage to her family's Altadena, California, home from the Eaton Fire.

The former "This Is Us" star, who evacuated earlier this week, returned to find the main part of her Los Angeles-area home "miraculously" still standing, though not livable, she said in an Instagram post.

"We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss," Moore, who shares three young children with husband Taylor Goldsmith, wrote in the post. "Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now. It's not livable but mostly intact."

The wildfire destroyed a studio used by Goldsmith and his brother Griffin, two members of the group Dawes, along with "every instrument and piece of equipment they've ever owned," Moore said.

Moore said the garage and backhouse were also destroyed in the fire.

Moore revealed she's "feeling weird [survivor's] guilt" as "everyone we know lost everything," including family members.

"Every house on our street is gone," Moore wrote. "My in laws. My brother and sister in law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends."

More than 1,900 structures have been destroyed by the fires and the number is expected to increase. More than 180,000 people are under evacuation orders in the metropolitan area, from the Pacific Coast inland to Pasadena, a number that continues to shift as new fires erupt.

Moore is one of several celebrities who have been impacted by the devastating wildfires. Billy Crystal, Paris Hilton and Jhené Aiko are among those who said they have lost their homes.

"We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support," Moore said. "Thanks for everyone for checking on us and offering us help. Altadena strong."
