Redick returned to the Pacific Palisades on Wednesday, only to see the entire neighborhood destroyed from the wildfires.

“I was not prepared for what I saw,” Redick said. “It’s complete devastation and destruction. I had to go kind of a different way to the house, but I went through most of the village and it’s all gone. I don’t think you can ever prepare yourself for something like that.
