The Pacific Palisades home of the Welsh actor, who turned 87 on Dec. 31, has burned to the ground, as seen in photos obtained by PEOPLE. The scene shows just a few concrete pillars, scorched wood and a stone pathway at the property, where smoke still rose from the rubble.
On Friday, Jan. 10, the actor posted a message to instagram about the tragedy, writing "As we struggle to heal from the devastation of these fires, it’s important we remember that the only thing we take with us is the love we give." He included a heart, broken heart and praying emoji to the text post.

Anthony Hopkins once said: “I am fully aware of my mortality, but at 87 years old, I still wake up every morning with the desire to misbehave. Age is not a barrier when you find passion in what you do. The real secret lies in keeping your curiosity alive, continuing to learn, and not letting the fear of time stop you from enjoying life. Every day is a new opportunity to create, to laugh, and to show that it is never too late to move forward with enthusiasm and joy."
