Jane Seymour opens her doors to the former “Dr. Quinn’s co-star who lost his home in the Palisades fire

Jane Seymour is doing her part to help those close to her who lost their homes in the Los Angeles fires.

In an Instagram video shared on Saturday, Seymour’s former “Dr. Quinn co-star Joe Lando told his followers that the 73-year-old actress took him and his family in after they lost their home in the Palisades fire.

“I just wanted to let everyone know who has reached out and is trying to find out how we are doing here in the Palisades. The Lando family is intact,” he began the video. “Fortunately there are angels in this world. We have nothing left but each other. My friend Jane Seymour allowed us to come to her house, opened it to us without hesitation and, thank God, gave us a place to come and sleep.

The actor has three children with his wife Kirsten Barlow, all of whom live with Seymour in their Malibu home.

Lando and Seymour starred together on “Dr. Quinn” and have remained close friends ever since. They were recently seen back on screen in the 2022 Lifetime film “A Christmas Spark.”

In the tearful video, Lando described the conditions people in the area are facing, explaining that after three days they had just turned the power back on and still had no gas. He also added: “You can’t drink the water, you can’t breathe the air, because now everything is poisonous.”

“Luckily there are angels in this world. We have nothing left but each other. My friend Jane Seymour allowed us to come to her house, opened it to us without hesitation and, thank God, gave us a place to come and sleep.

The area around Seymour’s home was also recently threatened by the Franklin Fire, which burned in Malibu in early December, prompting the actress to evacuate.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this before. It’s indescribable. You see people on TV going through something like that and you think, ‘Oh my God, that must be a terrible thing. Thank God that’s not me,'” he said later in the video. “If it was just us, I would really be okay with it. But it affects everyone. It’s about everything. I’m just devastated and heartbroken for everyone, everyone we know. They don’t have houses.”

Lando also addressed the online discussion about people’s mentality that the area’s residents are wealthy individuals and therefore able to get back on their feet, saying, “That’s not the majority of this area.”

He emphasized that the fire affected everyone and stressed that in a situation like this, “there are no longer any rich or poor, white, black, brown, red or blue. This fire is evil and will kill everything.”

“Most of the people are just hard-working people who have lived there for generations,” he said. “My wife’s parents lived down the street and they lost their house after about 40 years. Our house wasn’t big or fancy, but it was our home and I worked so hard at it.”

Later in the video, Lando tearfully thanks “everyone who has been so generous to him and his family during this difficult time” and promises to pay the kindness forward.

Everyone here because it’s going to get worse before it gets better. I know we will get through this. This too will pass. This will leave one hell of a scar. God bless you all.”
