Mathison is one of the thousands of people affected by the wildfires that ravaged the Los Angeles area in January 2025. The Palisades and Eaton fires resulted in 31 deaths and the destruction of over 16,000 structures, per NBC News.
Mathison continued to reflect on the first anniversary of the loss of his home on the Friday, January 9, episode of Good Morning America. “It’s been a year of loss, of learning, of love, of next chapters,” he shared. “And I guess really what I meant by that is as a family, as a community, thousands of us are going through so much devastation and loss.”
Mathison went on to note, “These are the times I feel like if we have the right mindset and we come at it in the right way — we just have so much to learn and come together, and there’s so many opportunities for compassion, for thinking about the thousands of other people going through it, for generosity, for giving back, for learning and growing your inner qualities. And I know it sounds, maybe, like a little bit of a cliché or something, but it really has been a year of pain and loss, but also learning and growth and coming together like I could have never imagined.”
