Mark Hamill Shares Emotional Update After ‘Fleeing’ The Los Angeles Fires

Actor Mark Hamill is giving fans an update after previously "fleeing for our lives" with his wife and dog as the wildfires spread across Los Angeles last week.

The actor, best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" franchise, gave fans a glimmer of hope with an emotional update.

On January 8, “The Fall of the House of Usher” actor took to Instagram to share a personal update on the fires that were devastating the Pacific Palisades area. At 7 PM local time, they evacuated Malibu so last minute that they saw fires on both sides of the road as they evacuated.

Over an hour later, his wife, Marilou, and his dog, Trixie, had arrived in Hollywood. The actor called it the worst fire that he had ever seen since 1993 and encouraged his followers to stay safe. Former Disney princess and “The Book of Boba Fett” star Ming-Na Wen commented, “Glad you & family are safe.”

Many “Star Wars” fans also encouraged him to stay safe, showering the comment section of his post with “May The Force Be With You.”

The following day, the 73-year-old actor shared a photo of him on Instagram dressed as a cowboy in an attempt to inject some humor into the situation.

“In an effort to ignore the hideous reality we are all facing, here’s a picture of me as a cowboy for no apparent reason,” he captioned the snap.

One fan called him “Cool hand, Luke,” in a nod to the character losing his hand in a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader.

“3:10 to Tatooine,” another follower chimed in while a third fan joked, “Luke Skyrancher.”

Other followers took the post more seriously and took a moment to thank him for being such an idol during their childhood and encouraging him to stay safe and stay positive amid the devastation.

On Saturday, the California native relieved fans when he revealed that his home had survived the fire. At the same time, he admitted that many of the homes in his neighborhood were unable to escape the blaze.

“Thanks to all who were concerned if our house survived the fires. Amazingly enough... it did,” he wrote in the caption. “My heart goes out to everyone who weren’t as fortunate, not only in my neighborhood but all of Los Angeles. Together, we will get through this!”

“So glad it did. You’re one of the good ones, MH. Sadly ours did not, and double sadly my girls lost their signed photos from you in the blaze. Thank you, keep fighting, and thank you for just being a good human,” one fan commented. Plenty of followers commented on the post, hoping that Hamill would see it and send new autographs his way.

In another post, Hamill shared a look at the fires devasting Los Angeles from the window of a plane. “Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time,” he captioned the snap along with the hashtag “No Words” and a broken heart emoji.

“Prayers for all, devastating situation. I can’t imagine losing everything,” one fan commented.

“May the Force protect the firefighters during this difficult time,” another follower wrote.

Many fans expressed concern for his "Star Wars" costar, Harrison Ford, who also was photographed trying to escape the blaze last week.

As previously reported by The Blast, the 82-year-old actor was seen getting a police escort to check on his home in Brentwood. The actor looked visibly worried as he stood by with his neighbors.

Fortunately, his wife, actress Calista Flockhart, managed to escape the chaos in Los Angeles, as he previously revealed that she was in New York City preparing for a play while attending the Golden Globes last Sunday.
