Legendary actor Dick Van Dyke risked it all and chose to stay put in his Los Angeles-area home as wildfires engulfed surrounding areas.
The 99-year-old is safe and sound, according to reports from his family.
In an Instagram Live on Jan. 12, Silver, 53, shared that the $8 million house she shares with the 99-year-old “Mary Poppins” star is still standing despite the deadly blazes, which destroyed other celebrity abodes in Malibu and adjacent areas.
Sitting in her car, Van Dyke’s wife of almost 13 years said that the guest house on the Malibu property did catch fire but only sustained minimal damage, as reported by the New York Post.
While other, surrounding properties were destroyed, the couple are without power and have been using a gas generator.
“Keeping Dick warm and entertained has been the two things that have been my top priority, so, you know, we don’t have power […] or regular electricity, so we don’t have Wi-Fi,” Silver said, adding that the pair have been relying on her camper to cook and charge their devices.
Silver also shared that even with the many natural disasters Malibu continually faces, she and Van Dyke have no desire to relocate.
“Dick is more comfortable here than anywhere else,” she said. “It’s easier to take care of him here.”
Describing the famed actor as a “trooper,” Silver added, “I don’t know of any other person of, you know, senior citizen age that would put up with this.”
In an ironic twist, just last month the star was evacuated from his home after a previous wildfire fire threatened his home.
“It was coming from the hill, you could see it,” Van Dyke said in an interview on “Today” at the time.
“And oh my God, and we got out of here,” he added. “I was trying to crawl to the car, I had exhausted myself, I couldn’t get up.”
