Billy Crystal opened up in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE how he and his wife, Janice Crystal, are doing after they lost their Los Angeles home less than two months ago due to the devastating wildfires that plagued the area.

Billy Crystal and his wife faced heartbreak when their home was destroyed in the devastating LA fires. But with their strong bond and the support of their family, they are determined to rebuild and move forward.

The crowd laughed. But Crystal’s personal participation was especially poignant. The comic, actor and filmmaker lost his Pacific Palisades home of 46 years in the Los Angeles wildfires. Kimmel was among the first to contact Crystal as the fires swept through the region.
