Barbara Corcoran

To everyone reaching out, I can’t thank you enough; your kind hearts have meant the world. I’ll never forget them. The community has come out stronger than I could imagine. Pacific Palisades, I love you beyond measure. You are a little slice of heaven; we will come back stronger than ever. If you’re in the LA area, PLEASE get out if you can.

We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, 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. Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone. My in-laws. My brother and sister-in-law in law- 6 weeks away from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends. Feeling weird survivor’s guilt. We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support it. Thanks to everyone for checking on us and offering us help. Altadena strong.
