Mel Gibson Reflects on Loss in Los Angeles Wildfires: A Strange Mixture of ‘Sadness’ and ‘Elation’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GIBSON: "I mean, it’s — it’s tragic. It makes you really sad. I was actually, you know, there are neighbors I have that I was actually looking at them. I felt worse for them than I did for myself. I look at this, there is a strange mixture of sadness and almost kind of elation in a sense that I’m just — I count my blessings, you know, no matter what. These are things. And they may or may not be replaceable but they are only things. We are still here. I just kind of look at it almost in a weird kind of way a purification."
