“I thought, ‘Is there still a place for me?’ But when I got home, sure enough, it wasn’t there,” he told NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas Report.
“I’ve never seen such a complete burn. It’s obviously devastating and it’s emotional. You lived there for a long time and you had everything. You were 14 years old there, I lived there for 15 years, so it was my hometown.
Gibson continued: “There was a lot of personal stuff in there that I couldn’t get back. Everything from photos to files to personal stuff that I had over the years. It can all be replaced. These are just things. And the good news is that my family and the people I love are all fine and we are all happy and healthy and out of harm’s way.”
