The treacherous wildfire that tore through the Pacific Palisades had left his once-lush neighborhood charred and unrecognizable.

Actor Steve Guttenberg is among the thousands of Los Angeles area residents who don’t know whether their homes have been destroyed by the deadly California wildfires.

Actor and long-time resident of Pacific Palisades, Steve Guttenberg joins TODAY to talk about the devastation from the severe wildfires in California, pitching in to help those in need, and the importance of community during this difficult time.

Known for his roles in movies like “Police Academy,” “It Takes Two” and “Three Men and a Baby,” Guttenberg, 66, was caught by local news station KTLA 5 on Tuesday as he was out moving cars to make room for fire trucks to drive into the endangered community.
