Goldie Hawn’s daughter-in-law Meredith Hagner has revealed her alternative living situation after she was forced to leave her family home behind.
The actress and her family, including her husband Wyatt Russell and their sons Buddy and Boone, were among the thousands of residents forced to evacuate their homes during the devastating LA wildfires in January.
Meredith appears to have decided to move out of the LA area altogether following the destruction and has leaned on her sister-in-law, Kate Hudson, for a new place to stay.
Appearing at the Critics Choice Awards on Friday alongside Kate, Meredith shared that she and her family have been temporarily living in Kate’s Palm Desert home.
Speaking to Extra, the Bad Monkey actress divulged her housing situation after she was asked if she has been able to return to her LA home.
“No, but Kate has been really generous,” she said. “She has a very, very, very lovely house in Palm Desert… She’s really open… She’s put me up.”

She wrote: “My little family is safe. Not sure about our house but – I’m so lucky. But man do I love our special seaside community so deeply. Heart wrenching.”

“Living in this tight community by the sea has been the greatest blessing,” she wrote, adding another photo of one of her sons playing in their backyard.

Meredith continued: “My husband grew up here and went to preschool on the corner. His parents live down the road. His sister lives down the road and so does his brother. It’s just unfathomable. Our little pocket of bliss.”

Aspen holds a very special place for Wyatt in particular, as he spent a lot of his childhood there, while Goldie and Kurt Russell still have a house there too.

The actress shared a second post featuring a short video panning around the snow-covered grounds outside the property.

She added: “Also, if anyone has any quick ship furniture shops or playroom and kiddo recommendations please send.”
