Tom Hanks can breathe a sigh of relief.
The Hollywood legend’s home has been spared from the devastating Los Angeles fires that have ravaged the city this week.
Hanks, 68, lives in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, which has been decimated by the Palisades Fire that began burning on Tuesday morning.

The home just above Hanks’ was not so lucky, though. Blackened and still smoking, the structure was hollowed out by flames.
That the star’s house has thus far survived the Palisades Fire is something of a miracle, given that whole streets were leveled by the blaze.

The Post has reached out to Hanks’ rep for comment.
On Tuesday, the “Philadelphia” actor and wife Rita Wilson’s son Chet, 34, shared his grief over the mass destruction.
“The neighborhood I grew up in is burning to the ground rn,” Chet wrote on his Instagram story.
