During an emotional TV interview, Jennifer Garner shared that a close friend of hers lost their life in the devastating wildfires sweeping across Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles wildfires rage on, with new evacuation orders being issued as the destruction escalates, leaving at least 16 fatalities in its wake.

On Friday (Jan. 10), Jennifer Garner joined chef and World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés on MSNBC to assess the ongoing damage — and she opened up about the personal losses felt by those around her.

In the interview, Jennifer shared that more than 100 people she knows have lost their homes, and tragically, a member of her church passed away in the fires.

“I lost a friend, and it’s incredibly painful for our church community. I’m not ready to speak about her just yet,” she said, her voice breaking with emotion. “I lost a friend. She couldn’t get out in time.”

“My heart aches for my friends. I can think of 100 families off the top of my head, and 5,000 homes have been destroyed. I could easily write a list of 100 friends who lost their homes.”

"I feel almost guilty walking through my house. You know, what can I do? How can I help? What can I offer?"

"What can I offer with these hands, these walls, and the safety I still have?"
