Actor James Woods says his house in Pacific Palisades has survived the Los Angeles wildfires that had devastated much of his neighborhood.

The actor, who had initially indicated he lost his home to the blazes raging across Southern California this week, returned to his neighborhood on Friday where he documented the destruction caused by the flames.

"A miracle has happened," he wrote in his caption. "We managed to get to our property and our home, [which] we were told is gone forever, is still standing. In this hellish landscape 'standing' is relative, but smoke and other damage is not like the utter destruction around us."
