Cameron Mathison is commemorating the one-year anniversary of a heartbreaking day for his family.
One year after the General Hospital star lost his family home in the devastating fires that ravished Los Angeles neighborhoods in January 2025, Mathison took to Instagram to share how his life has forever been changed by that tragic day.
Uploading footage of the wreckage that was left where his Altadena home used to stand, the soap star, 56, wrote, “A year since the fire,” while showing his former home reduced to rubble.
“Loss changed us,” Mathison continued in the Wednesday, Jan. 7 post, adding, “Love carried us.”
“Sending so much love to all those affected 🙏🏼💔” his caption concluded.
Mathison’s property in Altadena was the place where he and his ex-wife, Vanessa Mathison, raised their two children: sonLucas, 22 and daughter Leila, 19.
Vanessa was among those who commented on the actor’s Instagram post on Wednesday, writing, “I will be forever grieving this loss💔” under the video.
In the wake of so much tragedy, Mathison’s family found a silver lining when they were able to salvage one extremely sentimental item from the fires: a tile sign that read the name of their family home, “Casa Lula.”
“We did a lot of renovations on this place it was like a passion project, and once we finished all that, we had this beautiful tile thing with the little name on the front,” he said during a Good Morning America appearance last year, noting that the name “Casa Lula” comes from a combination of both of his kids’ names.
The sign was miraculously recovered in the ash left by the fires, and even though it had a few cracks in it, the All My Children alum said his family planned to put it back together and “make an art piece out of it.”
“Just as a memento to remember, but also to be able to move forward to the next phase, the next chapter,” he said at the time.
