The home — reportedly located 190 miles from LA in San Luis Obispo, CA — is the 42-year-old actor’s vacation property. Johnny’s ranch was damaged in a 1,200-acre wildfire that has allegedly now been 40 percent contained by local firefighters.

“My heart goes out to all in the area who are also experiencing loss from this vicious fire, the threat of which we live with constantly, which may seem crazy to some but we do so because living in our beautiful, rural area makes it worthwhile,” Johnny said in a statement.

“It’s never the structures that create a community — it’s the people. And if the people of Santa Margarita have taught me anything it’s that, once the smoke has cleared, literally and figuratively, it’s a time to reach out and rebuild,” the former Roseanne star continued.
