“I lost a friend who didn’t make it out in time,” the 52-year-old actress shared. “It’s just — my heart aches for my friends. I can think of so many families, at least 100, and there are 5,000 homes gone.”
She reflected on her own safety amidst the destruction. “I almost feel guilty walking through my house,” she confessed. “What can I do? How can I help? What can I offer? What do I have to give with these hands, these walls, and the security I have?”
The Pearl Harbor actress continued: “I’m looking at the remains of a chimney belonging to someone I cared about. […] It’s devastating — almost impossible to comprehend.”
