While the novelist’s house is currently spared from the ongoing fires, her ex-husband’s house probably did not resist the flames.
More and more of them are seeing their homes reduced to ashes by the fires ravaging the city of Los Angeles. Currently promoting his new novel The gesturesPatrick Bruel’s ex-partner, Amanda Sthers, gave news of their respective houses on Wednesday January 8 on the set of Telematin. The latter was not on the scene when the fires broke out, unlike her son: « My son left the day it started, saw things from the plane and sent us videos », she said.
In an interview given to Parisian , the author of 46 described the current fires « without common measure » with the previous ones. Moved, Amanda Sthers declared: « It’s a tragedy. A combination of circumstances, such strong winds, a year without water… Global warming is causing more and more natural disasters. »
His house seems for the moment to have been spared from the flames thanks to the Los Angeles ring road. However : « If the fire crosses this highway, it will be catastrophic. Friends came to take refuge at my house but they were evacuated as a precaution last night. However, I live a 40 minute drive from Pacific Palisades. This demonstrates the violence of the fires ». With tears in her voice, Patrick Bruel’s ex-wife concluded: « What is also very violent and very painful is receiving photos of places we went to, parks, restaurants, and seeing that everything has burned. It’s a part of life that disappears. »

God bless our firefighters everywhere and always. »
