Young & Restless Star Eric Braeden Flooded with Prayers — Can He Recover from This Tragedy?

‘Young and Restless’ star Eric Braeden flooded with prayers after heartbreaking news

Eric Braeden, better known as “The Young and the Restless” star Victor Newman, has lost everything in the fires in California.

The beloved Soap star shared ominous videos of flames closing in on his backyard as helicopters swooped in earlier this week and told fans he was evacuating. He returned to the home with Entertainment Tonight tagging along and the result was heartbreaking video of him realizing that he had lost everything.

Stepping out of a van and surveying the rubble of what was the home he lived in for 45 years, the 83-year-old is clearly emotional from the start.

“I’m devastated man … I’m devastated,” he finally manages to say after shedding tears. “All the memories. I don’t want my family to see this.”

Braeden said he could “never imagine this.”

“I grew up during the second World War, and we were bombed every day and every night and day,” he said. “That was different, but the destruction was the same. You know, having lived here all these years, I always thought if that hillside over there (pointing into the distance) goes aflame, it could easily jump, and it never has in 45 years. And now it did.

“You know when you watch TV, and you see all these news coverages of people losing their homes, I understand now,” he said. “It’s such a feeling of loss. Indescribable. It leaves you totally disoriented.”

Braeden has a long list of acting credits, but the role of Victor Newman, which he has played since 1980, is by far his most prominent. And that role has made him a beloved figure to many.
