Liam Hemsworthand his wifeMiley Cyruslost their house and many of their possessionsduring the devastating California fireslast year, but there’s one item in particular that Hemsworth wishes he had saved.
The 29-year-old actor spoke toGQAustraliain an interview published on Wednesday, where he opened up about how he learned that the fire had destroyed his home.
“My house was in the middle of the red zone,” he said. “My property is super dry, with big eucalyptus trees, and I’d been saying for years that if ever there was a spark in the canyons, it was just going to go up.”
Hemsworth continued: “About three or four a.m., I got a call from Miley. She’d found out from a friend, and that was when she told me it was gone. That was pretty gut-wrenching. It was actually real. And it’s just a hard, hard thing to come to terms with.”
The actor then revealed the possession he misses the most out of everything that was destroyed in the fire.
“I always imagined giving it to my first son or something,” the actor shared. “I don’t hold too much sentiment to possessions, but that was probably the one thing I wish I’d taken.”

In November, during the aftermath of the fire, Hemsworthshared a photothat showed all that was left ofthe Malibu homehe shared with Cyrus.
“It’s been a heartbreaking few days. This is what’s left of my house. Love,” he began the lengthy caption that accompanied a striking image of their burnt out walls, with the charred remains of the letters “L-O-V-E” that once decorated the space.
“My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong. I am grateful for all I have left,” she added.
Shortly after the fire, Cyrus and Hemsworthtied the knotin an intimate ceremony in December following their first meeting on the set of 2010’sThe Last Song.
During theGQinterview, Hemsworth said that the wedding was “going to happen eventually,” but admitted the fire helped push them to the altar.
“I was 18 when I met Miley,” he said. “We really fell in love quickly and had a really strong connection from the beginning and I think in the back of my head I knew it was on the cards, but we weren’t planning to have a wedding anytime soon.”
He continued: “Then just going through something this emotional with someone, it brings you closer and we felt like we’d lost a big part of our lives, so we wanted to make a new part of our lives. It was something really good coming out of a horrible situation. It was going to happen eventually, but I think this just sped it up a little bit.”
