Johnny Galecki loses his ranch home to a wildfire

American actor Johnny Galecki has suffered a recent disastrous event in his life! A massive fire broke out at his ranch home in California on 26^th June 2017.

The whole house was completely burned down. He was luckily not at the property at that time and is safe and unhurt.

The fire was part of a wildfire that erupted at 3.30 pm local time on the 26^th on the hills, spread rapidly, and destroyed many parts of Central California. Johnny Galecki released a statement to TMZ the next day.

It said:

“My heart goes out to all in the area who are also experiencing loss from this vicious fire, the threat of which we live with constantly, which may seem crazy to some but we do so because living in our beautiful, rural area makes it worthwhile,”

He continued:

“It’s never the structures that create a community — it’s the people. And if the people of Santa Margarita have taught me anything it’s that, once the smoke has cleared, literally and figuratively, it’s a time to reach out and rebuild. We’ve done it before, and will need to do it together again, and it will make our community even closer and stronger. Endless thanks to CalFire and the Sheriff’s Office. I know you guys are fighting the good fight to keep us safe. So very relieved no one has been hurt.”
