Hamill received support from fans in the comments section of his post.

“Mark so glad your home was spared,” one fan wrote.

“The force is with you Luke,” another person quipped.

“Thank God 🙏✨your home is okay,” someone else said.

Hamill was one of thousands of people who were forced to evacuate their homes in Malibu on Tuesday as the Palisades Fire spread through the area.

He told fans that he fled his house “so last-minute there” that there were “small fires on both sides of the road” as he approached the Pacific Coast Highway.

Hamill confirmed that he and his wife, Marilou York, and their dog, Trixie, safely made it to his daughter Chelsea’s house in Hollywood.

“Most horrific fire since ’93,” he added about the blaze.

On Friday night, Hamill shared a nighttime aerial photo of LA County covered in flames and smoke.

“Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔,” he wrote.
