Mandy Moore reveals heartbreak she suffered after losing home in LA fires
On a heartfelt note, I couldn’t help but express my admiration for my incredible mother-in-law, Kathy Goldsmith, on Instagram yesterday. It’s been six months since the devastating LA wildfires took away her home, yet she has shown nothing but resilience and grace. She truly rose to the occasion in these challenging times, leaving me utterly inspired.
To kick off her social media post celebrating Kathy’s birthday, the Emmy-nominated actress, aged 41, expressed, “What a remarkable year it has been!
For over six years, the musical artist Taylor Goldsmith, who is the offspring of Moore and Kathy, has been married. They are proud parents to a 4-year-old son named August ‘Gus’ Harrison, a 3-year-old son named Oscar ‘Ozzie’ Bennett, as well as a 10-month-old daughter named Louise Everett.
Moore expressed doubt about how she could have managed during the hours, days, weeks, and months following the fire without her help.
In the midst of challenging times, the woman from New Hampshire acknowledged that her mother-in-law has stood steadfast with us from the start, never missing a step, despite enduring her own profound grief.
Miley, known for her role as Rebecca Pearson on the NBC show This Is Us, expressed deep sadness that the option of a brief stroll between their houses, which used to span just five minutes, is now unavailable.


Moore expressed gratitude for her mother-in-law being able to reside with her family during the past six months, despite the challenges the first half of 2025 brought.
The actress from “Dr. Death” – who faced criticism for endorsing her relative’s GoFundMe campaign during a difficult period – contemplated the positive aspect of having Kathy nearby following the devastating fires, finding a glimmer of hope in the situation.
Moore stated that she undoubtedly belongs to us,” he said. “From pouring coffee in the morning for the dogs, to sipping tea once the children are asleep and discussing our sorrows, sharing laughter over daily events, and so on…
In simpler terms, Moore praised Kathy for being a great help as a grandmother, ensuring that routines and habits remain stable during their move from one house to another.
‘Moore remarked that she’s completely got the hang of bath time, mealtime, playtime, and everything in between, even the unusual moments like when Gus exclaimed “I need to GO POOP with Gaga now!”. We feel incredibly fortunate that she’s ours, and we have no intention of ever letting her go.’
Moore playfully commented on the temporary setup, saying, ‘I’m afraid I have to tell you straight up, she believes she can shift to her new abode, but that’s a scenario yet to unfold.’


Moore has been consistently updating her 5.5 million followers on the social media site about her personal experiences, from the fire incident to the subsequent reconstruction phase.
In May, the actress openly criticized Los Angeles County officials due to what she perceived as an inefficient and excessively bureaucratic system for homeowners who wanted to reconstruct their homes following the devastating fires. She described it as such.
She expressed her frustration on Instagram Stories, stating that Los Angeles County has made it extremely challenging and seemingly impossible to rebuild following the fires.
As a lifestyle expert, let me express it this way: I can’t help but find it astonishingly complex and confusing the bureaucratic hurdles and tangled processes we’re all expected to navigate.
