Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick confirmed that his family lost their rented home in the devastating Pacific Palisades wildfire earlier this week. Emotional during a press conference, he recounted the destruction witnessed upon returning to the neighborhood where he and his family had felt welcomed since he took on the coaching role last summer.

Redick revealed that while his wife Chelsea and their two sons were safe, the fire completely obliterated their home and a local recreation center where he intended to coach. He expressed profound sorrow over the loss of irreplaceable belongings accumulated over their 20 years together, emphasizing the emotional toll of losing a home.
