Actor Pierce Brosnan came back to his home to find it heavily damaged by the Californian wildfires.
A pained grimace washed over the James Bond star's face as he stepped out of Land Rover to find his $3.5million Malibu beach home had been torched by flames.
Brosnan and his family had been forced to evacuate their property after the Woolsey Fire swept through Southern California over the weekend.
The 65-year-old and his wife Keely Shaye Smith were seen returning home on Tuesday. Smith could be seen wearing a respirator mask so she would not breathe in any of the harmful smoke and ash that was still in the air.
After surveying the damage, Brosnan appeared in front of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday night to ask that aid be provided to the area.
'For over 35 years, I have witnessed many fires in my community and experienced the devastation of those fires up close and personal, but none as catastrophic as the events that have taken place in our community these past five days,' he said.

After surveying the damage at his home and around his neighborhood, Brosnan spoke in front of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday night to share his experience
Brosnan continued: 'The lives of many families friends and neighbors have been turned to ash. Many cannot be with us today because they are fighting to protect their property and homes and they simply cannot get out as they fight to survive without water, electricity, food, gas and, in some cases, shelter.
'We have watched as our firefighters and police force have battled with overwhelming courage of heart and conviction to save our homes and our lives in conditions that have tested their resolve to the limits.
'We call on you this day, we beseech you to do everything in your power to save our community. My wife and I are here today speaking on behalf of our friends, mothers, children to give a voice to their pain.'

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin also spoke at the meeting.
'I’m here just to reassure everybody that we as a community are going to do our utmost to help ourselves, but there is sometimes an image of Malibu that people like me are there more than other people, and there’s a lot of people who need help from outside from you,' he told the board.
A number of celebrities have lost their houses in the Woolsey fire, including Neil Young, Kim Basinger, Robin Thicke, Camille Grammer and Gerard Butler.
Brosnan's home - which was under construction for over two years and finished in 2014 - also stood in the fire's path.
The property includes a guest suite, four bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, with neighbors including Steven Spielberg and Dustin Hoffman.

On Tuesday the death toll from wildfires across the state was said to have hit 59 as it was announced by experts rain is expected to hit the region.
According to Accuweather, California could see precipitation as early as this weekend or beginning of next week, which will provide much-needed moisture to the wildfire-struck region.
Accuweather President Joel N. Myers said, however: 'While there is a chance for some meaningful rainfall next week, it is unlikely that we will see enough precipitation to end the fires across Southern California.
'There is a somewhat better chance for enough rainfall to diminish the fires in Northern California.'
A pair of storms is currently forming across the Pacific Ocean.
The Bay Area is expected to receive one inch of rain by next Friday, while areas of Southern California are could receive half an inch, according to Mercury News.
The Weather Channel is predicting a 40 per cent chain of rain for San Francisco and Los Angeles - with the rain expected to fall in San Francisco on Thanksgiving Day and continue into Tuesday. In LA, the rain is predicted to fall Wednesday and last through Friday.

Steve Anderson, forecaster with the National Weather Service, told Mercury News by mid-week there will likely be 'a change in wind direction ahead of the cold front.'
Anderson said: 'The smoke should be blown out by then. The smoke will be blown to the northeast, to Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Canada.
'The amount of rain and where it will fall the most is still up in the air, but things are looking pretty good.
'The humidity will go way up - it will help lay down the fire and help the fire crews to make faster progress on it.'
With scores of people still missing, National Guard troops searched Wednesday through charred debris for more victims of California's deadliest wildfire as top federal and state officials toured the ruins of a community completely destroyed by the flames.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke joined Governor Jerry Brown on a visit to the leveled town of Paradise, telling reporters it was the worst fire devastation he had ever seen.
'Now is not the time to point fingers,' Zinke said. 'There are lots of reasons these catastrophic fires are happening.'
He cited warmer temperatures, dead trees and the poor forest management.
Brown, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump's policies, said he spoke with Trump, who pledged federal assistance.
'This is so devastating that I don't really have the words to describe it,' Brown said, saying officials would need to learn how to better prevent fires from becoming so deadly.
About 7,700 homes were destroyed when flames hit Paradise, a former gold-mining camp popular with retirees, on November 8. The death toll across the state has risen to 59.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
