Nina Dobrev confesses heartily that she has “survivor’s guilt” because her house survived the fires in Los Angeles

Nina Dobrev admits she’s been feeling “survivor’s guilt” over her home being spared by the Los Angeles wildfires.

Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the “Vampire Diaries” alum addressed her 26.3 million followers with a video statement, saying, “It’s been such a tragic time in Los Angeles recently, I have been absolutely sick to my stomach with all the destruction and devastation that these fires have caused and displaced so many families.

“My heart is broken for all the people affected by these wildfires.”

“I don’t know about you but I’ve been feeling survivor’s guilt. Our home, although close to the fires, thankfully made it, but so many others were not so lucky,” she said in a video shared to social media over the weekend.

Dobrev then detailed that she and fiancé Shaun White evacuated their home on Jan. 9, which is not how she “wanted” to spend her 36th 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day.

“I don’t know about you but I’ve been feeling survivor’s guilt. Our home, although close to the fires, thankfully made it, but so many others were not so lucky,” she said.

Dobrev then pleaded with her followers to help survivors financially because they now “have too many clothes” due to initial donations.

“For my 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day this year, I went down that list and I donated to those families — and it would be my 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day wish … if you could do the same,” she added.

“I put myself in the shoes of all these people whose homes burned down to the ground. […] For some of them, the level of tragedy is immeasurable and it’s really hard to comprehend, they’ve lost everything and my heart breaks into a million pieces for them.”

“I put myself in the shoes of all these people whose homes burned down to the ground,” she said in her post.

She also admitted that she and fiancé Shaun White were forced to evacuate two days after the fires started.nina/Instagram

The “Perks of Being a Wallflower” actress concluded her message by saying, “Sending my love to all those who need it right now. The journey of healing is a long one and I’m sending so much love to you.”

Dobrev is one of many celebs who have joined forces to help those affected by the California wildfires, which broke out in the Pacific Palisades on Jan. 7 before spreading to other areas.

Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco were seen handing out food to first responders who helped battle the catastrophe, while Taylor Swift donated millions of dollars to multiple charities.

Celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Meghan Markle, Halle Berry and Kim Kardashian also donated plenty of clothes while Paris Hilton helped foster displaced dogs.

However, other celebs — such as Leighton Meester, Heidi and Spencer Pratt, Mel Gibson and Tyra Banks — weren’t as fortunate as they lost their homes due to the blazes.

As of Monday, 59 percent of the LA fires had been contained and at least 27 people have died since they started earlier this month.
