The video shows still-burning structures and charred trees surrounding the decimated debris of what used to be his home.
Mathison described his hometown of Altadena as being \"completely decimated, like completely, as if nothing has been built.\"
\"It's so outrageous. So, so many people with so much loss,\" he continued. \"It is still very unsettling and so surreal -- and again, thinking about the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that are going through the same thing, it's just ... devastating.\"

As Mathison's family and thousands of other families begin to process and respond to the wildfires' impact, Mathison said he and his community plan to \"help in any way.\"
\"Our neighbors are coming together in every way that we can, supporting each other and also trying to help people that still have their homes. Amazingly, there's still homes standing here and there,\" Mathison said.
For others looking to help wildfire victims, Mathison said, \"I really believe that prayers make a big difference, but also offering homes.\"
