Southern California homes and businesses are burning tonight and there is no end in sight.
Celebrities are taking to social media to express their grief over the loss of their homes and luxury cars, but one Altadena family is mourning the loss of something else.
In an interview with Fox 11, the little boy from Altadena stands next to his mother and brother. In the background, you can see a large, brick wall of something like a house, as well as the burnt ruins of many other houses that were lost.

The little boy seems calm as he recounts scary times leading to the loss of his home while holding the only two things he has left in this world.
“And then – the power went out… and then we were going to get our father, but he was coming. Then we had power, torches, they're really good and I went ' and they woke us up, my brother and I. Then we left our house,” said the boy.
He said things in the house were burned, including his valuable 3D printer.
“It was special to me and it will hurt me a little bit, but, I don't know why, but this is what happened in our home,” the boy said. “And a lot of things that I like are gone. And now, and everything is broken and discolored and stuff. And these are the only things that I have them too.”

The boy, looking distraught, shows the reporter the remains of his father's and mother's bicycles and says he wanted to come to the place where he lived to confirm what was broken. and see what is left.
He says: “I wanted to look at it and see if it was broken and my father took a video showing that it was broken. “We went here for today, so we know what happened and it was our chimney where Santa comes now it's gone. Now we can't get presents here anymore.”
This is it a case for thousands like a wild fire burning all over the place.

The mother took to social media to explain that she was mentally exhausted by the incident as the family tried to change their lives. He said the new 3D printer mentioned in his son's interview was the one they had been waiting more than a year to get.
He pointed out how quickly it happened, saying that it was so fast that he did not think much about the fire until it grew and was blown by the wind.
“Everything happened very quickly. We thought there would be time to return, to save most of our belongings, but in less than 5 hours, the whole place was destroyed. I was able to go,” his post said. “We were blessed to find a hotel in DTLA where we have been since Wednesday morning. Although we are thankful to be safe, the pain of losing everything is great. People tend to we say, 'The most important thing is that you are alive.'
Fox News Digital reached out to the family for comment, but, understandably, they, like many families, have a lot to do as they rebuild their hard-earned money.
