ABC News reporter Matt Gutman shocked the audience on The View after showing the state of his aunt’s destroyed house, which was affected by the flames of the Los Angeles fires on Thursday (January 9).
Matt Gutman shocked the audience of The View when he showed the destroyed house of his aunt. The ABC News reporter stood in front of the rubble of the home that was consumed by the flames of the Los Angeles fires.
“I can feel the heat radiating from this house, which by the way, is my aunt’s house,” said Gutman while walking through the streets of Sunset Boulevard. The reporter mentioned that his aunt was out of town and had lost everything.
“Like so many people in this part of Los Angeles, I know several people who lost their homes in this fire,” he added.
The fires started on Tuesday (January 7) and have already destroyed over 80 square kilometers of the area.
So far, two deaths have been confirmed in the Palisades fire, along with five other fatalities in the Eaton fire. Hundreds of thousands of people are homeless, and tens of thousands of homes have been affected by the flames.
