Jennie Garth broke down in tears as she was overcome with emotion during a new video shared to Instagram on Thursday.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 veteran, 52, was makeup free with her blonde hair down as she wore clear-frame glasses and a gray tank top.
She sobbed as she said her ex-husband, Twilight star Peter Facinelli, took her in during the horrible firestorms in Los Angeles.
‘I wanted to let you know that we are safe,’ began the actress. ‘Peter and his family took us in and have been so kind.’
She then expressed how grief stricken she was. ‘I am deeply saddened for our city and just feel numb,’ said Jennie.
‘Our home was spared but so much to clean up and ready to get active to help our neighbors and friends and fellow Angelinos.’

The Twilight hunk filed for divorce from Garth in 2012. It was finalized in June 2013; they are seen in 2005
She then said her husband Dave had been ‘amazing transporting all our bags and boxes, loading and unloading.’
She ended with: ‘Just keep everyone here who is suffering in your heart and prayers. I am grateful we are all ok and have a home to return to. This will effect people differently, so reach out, and offer to help, it really does mean so much.
‘Thank you for all the love that is being sent this way.’
Jennie and Peter have stayed close after their divorce.
They met on the set of their 1995 movie An Unfinished Affair and tied the knot in January 2001. The union didn’t last, and Facinelli filed for divorce in March 2012, which was finalized in June 2013.
Garth shares three daughters Luca, 27, Lola, 21, and Fiona, 18 with Facinelli, 50.
In October she shared she suffered two miscarriages with her husband Dave Abrams shortly after they got married.
She and the actor, 43 — who wed in 2015 — opened up about the difficult time they went through on an episode of her iHeartPodcast, I Choose Me with Jennie Garth.
The star remembered feeling ‘ashamed’ after not being able to give Abrams ‘a baby boy.’
‘I think at that time, I was feeling really down on myself, really ashamed, feeling like I was disappointing you, like I wasn’t able to carry a pregnancy with you, who I loved,’ she remembered.
‘And I had had these three beautiful daughters with Peter, and you had stepped in and become such a wonderful stepdad to them.’

‘And so I remember I so, so, so wanted to give you a baby boy,’ she said.
Jennie admitted that she doesn’t remember a lot from that time, as she’s blocked it out.
‘This is a pretty vulnerable topic, and I really appreciate you being open to talking about it because I think it could help some people,’ she said at the start of the conversation.
‘What point in our relationship did we start talking about maybe wanting to have kids together?’
‘Well, if you remember, we got married on July 11,’ Abrams replied. ‘And then we got pregnant that same month.’
‘We got pregnant naturally,’ Garth added.
‘Yeah. We got back from Carmel. We went to a little mini honeymoon to Carmel up in Monterey. And like two weeks later, you were pregnant,’ Abrams said.
He went on: ‘Well, we went to Nancy, your doctor, the gynecologist, and yeah, we were good to go. And then that lasted almost four months. And then, you know, we found out.’
‘What do you mean?’ Garth asked her husband.

‘Well, I don’t want to get emotional in the first 15 minutes of a podcast. Yeah, we found out that there was no heartbeat,’ he said.
Abrams shared he was ‘upset’ after finding out. Garth asked, ‘Did you feel upset with me?’
‘No,’ he replied. ‘I wasn’t upset, I was just down.’
The pair were then informed about a dilation and curettage procedure (DNC).
A dilation and curettage procedure is a ‘procedure to remove tissue from inside your uterus. Health care professionals perform dilation and curettage to diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions — such as heavy bleeding — or to clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage or abortion’ according to the Mayo Clinic.
‘I had had these three beautiful daughters with Peter, and you had stepped in and become such a wonderful stepdad to them,’ she said; they are seen in 2018
‘I think I remember them saying we could just wait and let it work its way,’ Garth said.
‘Let nature take its course or we could do the procedure. And we opted to do the procedure because it was just too much for me to carry a baby that had been terminated.’
‘Yeah, it was totally heavy,’ her husband said.
The pair then opted to have the procedure done that day.
The couple then reconciled that maybe it wasn’t ‘in the cards’ for them to have a child.
‘But then it happened again,’ Abrams shared. ‘Naturally,’ Garth added, though she said she could not remember this one either.
‘So that one was shorter. I remember we had to switch doctors. And this one was only, you know, you found out you got pregnant. And then this was only like a month and a half,’ Abrams said.
‘I think the doctor at the time was like, “Well, it’s not going to be healthy anyway.” So then we did the DNC again.’
‘And then by that time, I think it had definitely taken an emotional toll which we didn’t know how to communicate at the time. So we kind of just wrapped it up and then other things kind of came in the fold.’
