Mandy Moore Is 'Doing Well' After Her Home Was 'a Near Total Loss' in Eaton Fire, Says Chrissy Metz
January's Eaton fire was one of several wildfires in Los Angeles that left more than 80,000 displaced
Mandy Moore was one of the thousands of people who were affected as she previously told her fans her home was "a near total loss"
Her former This Is Us costar, Chrissy Metz, gave an update on how Moore is doing in a new interviewFollowing January's Eaton Fire, Mandy Moore is "doing well," says her friend and former This Is Us costar Chrissy Metz.
The Eaton Fire was one of a series of wildfires in Los Angeles that left more than 80,000 people displaced, including celebrities like Moore, and destroyed more than 1,000 structures in January.
The deadly blaze ignited on Jan. 7 and was fully contained on Jan. 31, along with the Palisades Fire.

At the time of the catastrophic event, Moore and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, were renovating their property. According to an Instagram post from fellow designer Emily Farnham, the kitchen had just been completed in December 2024.
Six months after the fires, Metz shared in an interview with Extra that Moore is "doing well."
"I mean, thank goodness. A lot of the structure was able to be salvaged, which is great, but it's so jarring. It's so life-altering, and she has children and pets," Metz said, referring to Moore's three kids: August "Gus" Harrison, 4, Oscar "Ozzie" Bennett, 1, and Louise Everett, 10 months.
"It's just frightening because there's nothing you can do but hopefully get out of there. But she's doing well," said Metz.
Days after the fires began, Moore shared with her Instagram followers, "The main part of our house is still standing. For now."
"It's not livable but mostly intact. We lost Taylor and griffin's studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they've ever owned. We lost our garage and back house," she wrote, noting that she felt "weird survivors guilt."
A month later though, Moore gave another Instagram update on her home, explaining, "We found out this week that while our house is still standing, because of the proximity to the fires/ burning structures (around us on all sides) the contents of our home are a near total loss."
"Clothes, furniture, pretty much everything will have to be disposed of…maybe even the walls too," she added.
Despite the devastation, she shared in March that she was ready to start rebuilding her home again.
Moore shared an Instagram post by her interior designer, Sarah Sherman Samuel, which featured photographs of the guest house kitchen that was once a part of her home.

‘Billy Joel: And So It Goes:' 5 Takeaways From the Film's Conclusion
The second part of the sprawling documentary 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' ends before the musician's recent announcement that he has the brain disorder normal pressure hydrocephalus. That is to say, if you're looking for an update on Joel's health, the film by Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin, which HBO aired on Friday night (and is streaming on HBO Max), does not provide one. But Joel, in a podcast interview with Bill Maher earlier this week, is seen playing the piano. 'It's not fixed,' he said of his condition, but it's 'being worked on,' and he assured fans: 'I feel good.' 'They keep referring to what I have as a brain disorder, so it sounds a lot worse than what I'm feeling,' he added, likening the sensation to being on a boat with poor balance. While the first half of the film, which premiered in June at the Tribeca Festival, focused on the little-told story of how Joel's relationship with his first wife, Elizabeth Weber, shaped the early days of his career, the second covers more familiar territory. Starting with the production of 'The Nylon Curtain' in 1982, it chronicles his much discussed marriages to Christie Brinkley and Katie Lee Biegel, his well-documented struggles with alcohol, the betrayal of his manager Frank Weber, his decision to retire from the road and eventual return to live performance following the '12-12-12' benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy relief. And still, the nearly two-and-a-half-hour exploration of his life and career makes time to delve into his complicated relationship with his father, Howard, as well as his retreat from producing new pop music and the influence of classical compositions on his work. Here are five takeaways. The Holocaust looms large in Joel's family history. Joel's Jewish identity comes into play heavily during the second part of the documentary, specifically with regard to his fraught relationship with his father, Howard Joel. He describes how in his mid-20s he discovered that his paternal grandfather, Karl Joel, had a textile factory in Nuremberg. The family lived next to the park where the Nuremberg rallies were held and Joel speculates about the trauma his father must have endured watching those unfold as a young Jewish boy. Joel's grandfather was targeted by Nazi propaganda newspaper Der Stürmer and was forced to sell his business, though he was never paid. The Joels escaped Germany over the Swiss border and the factory was ultimately used to manufacture the striped uniforms for prisoners in concentration camps. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
