“The Lando family is intact. All of us, our dogs and our two little birds, luckily there are angels in this world,” said Lando (63) on Saturday 11. Instagram video, revealing that his house had been burned to the ground in flames. “We have nothing left but each other. My friend Jane Seymour let us come to her house and without hesitation she opened it for us and thank God (she) gave us a place to come and sleep.”
A chain of forest fires broke out in Pacific Palisades and other surrounding LA neighborhoods on Tuesday, January 7, ravaging thousands of acres of property. At least 16 people have died and tens of thousands of residents have fled their homes under mandatory evacuation orders, according to local officials.
Lando and Seymour, 73, played love interests on Dr. Quinn, the doctor between 1993 and 1998. Seymour played Seymour as Dr. Michael Quinn, who worked in Colorado Springs after the Civil War, while Lando played Byron Sully. In his report on Saturday, Lando detailed his experience with evacuation.
“The power just came back on for the first time in three days,” Lando said Saturday, noting that the surrounding area of Seymour was also affected by wildfires. “There was no gas and you can’t drink the water and you can’t breathe the air because it’s all poisonous. I’ve never been through anything like this. It is indescribable.”
He continued: “You see people on TV going through these things and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, that must be a terrible thing. Thank God it’s not me.” And now those people are us. If it was just us I’d be fine with it, but everyone. It’s everything and I’m just devastated and broken for everyone.’

CBSLando broke down in tears in his social media video, reflecting on “all the people we know who don’t have homes anymore.”
“There are a lot of rich people in my neighborhood, but that’s not the majority of this neighborhood.” Most of them are just hard-working people (who have lived there for generations,” he said. “My wife’s parents live on the street or did. They they lost their house after 40 years. Our house wasn’t big or fancy, but it was our home. I worked so hard on it. Whenever I wasn’t on an acting job, I was working on it, trying to stay out of trouble and save money.”
In addition to the family homes, Lando noted that the fires also completely destroyed his children’s school. (He is married to his wife Kiersten Barlow since 1997 and have four children.)
“It’s all gone,” Lando added tearfully. “And there is no rich or poor, black or white, red or blue.” This fire is evil and will kill everything.”
