Anna Faris has praised her son and her step-children for handling the loss of their home "like champs".
The 48-year-old actress and her husband Michael Barrett were left devastated after their property was destroyed in the California wildfires earlier this year and Anna has admitted her 12-year-old son Jack - from her previous marriage to Chris Pratt - and her step-kids have been incredibly brave and only really want to have their games consoles replaced.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "It really does force a day-by-day mentality. I’m really grateful for so much support. Sometimes I get pangs of emotion when I remember that I lost a specific thing that I really loved but I try to remember that it’s just a thing.
"My heart really goes out to a lot of my older neighbors. I’m lucky for a whole lot of reasons. I’m really lucky that my step-kids and my son have handled it like champs. They really have been incredibly strong, and they just want their gaming systems replaced.
"I’m learning that it’s a learning curve. I’m still digesting it all."
Anna went on to admit she still feels sad about losing some irreplaceable sentimental items, but she's trying to stay positive and move forward.
She added: "There’s things that I lost, like my grandfather’s paintings or [her film] 'House Bunny' memorabilia, that had sentimental value. But at the same time, it’s stuff that I didn’t look at all that much. That may sound trite but it’s not ..."
Anna went on to say: "I do think in a year from now I will feel differently, especially when people have moved on and started to forget while we’re still dealing with rebuilding or toxic soil or whatever the issues may be.
"That might get pretty tricky, too. People will have moved on while we’re stuck in the minutiae of the [practicalities and logistics]. I’m going to reflect more on this but what I can say is that it remains a day-by-day digestion for me."
