Jane Seymour is suffering from ‘post-traumatic numbness’ after a wildfire forced her to flee her home.
The 73-year-old actress was among the famous faces evacuated after a fire ripped through her neighborhood in Malibu, California.
And now she admits she’s lucky to be alive and relives her home is still standing after so many buildings burned to the ground.
‘I am very grateful, incredibly relieved. It’s interesting, you have a kind of post-traumatic numbness. It’s like, “Did that really happen?” And that happened, she said UsWeekly.
“Driving through Malibu and looking at all the charred remains is not fun. But when you think about what could have happened, we were all very lucky.”

The 73-year-old actress was among the famous faces evacuated after a fire ripped through her neighborhood in Malibu, California.
Jane previously admitted she only had time to grab a few valuable personal items before fleeing her home as the fire approached.
She told PEOPLE: “I took some jewelry that had sentimental value, and I grabbed two books that my mother had kept in a concentration camp during World War II.
“I figured if they could survive that, they should survive this fire, so they came with me.”
Jane added of the experience, “It’s what we live with in California. I mean, all over the world now. Right? There is no place where there is no natural disaster.”
Other stars forced to flee their homes when the bushfire struck earlier this month include pop legend Cher and veteran actor Dick Van Dyke, who had to be rescued by neighbors who found him trying to crawl to his car to escape the flames .
During an appearance on the ‘Today’ show, Dick, 99, explained: ‘It came from the hill, you could see it. And oh my God, and we got out of here. I tried to crawl to the car, I was exhausted, I couldn’t get up. ‘
Three neighbors came and carried me out and came back, put out a small fire in the guesthouse and rescued me.”
After being evacuated, the actor took to Facebook to assure fans that he and his wife Arlene were safe, but revealed that his beloved cat Bobo had disappeared when they tried to leave.

He wrote, “Arlene and I evacuated safely with our animals, except Bobo escaped as we were leaving.
“We pray that he is well and that our Serra Retreat community will survive these terrible fires.”
Bobo was later found safe and well and was reunited with his owners when they returned home.
In a later post on Facebook, Dick shared a photo of Arlene hugging Bobo with Animal Control officials.
He wrote: “We found Bobo as soon as we got home this morning. There was so much interest in his disappearance that Animal Protection was called in. But luckily he was easy to find and unharmed.’
