Joe Lando, of “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” and his family are taking shelter at his co-star Jane Seymour‘s home after losing his house in the Pacific Palisades fire.
“Thankfully, there are angels in this world. We’re left with nothing, except each other. My friend Jane Seymour allowed us to come up to her house and opened it up for us without any hesitation and, thank God, gave us some place to come and sleep,” Lando said in an emotional video posted to Instagram.
Seymour and Lando played Michaela Quinn and Byron Sully on the CBS show, which premiered in 1993 and ran for six seasons. Years later, two also appeared together as love interests in the 2022 Lifetime movie, “A Christmas Spark.”
Lando and his family were located in the Palisades home for 22 years before the fire, according to a GoFundMe link in his Instagram bio. Seymour lives in Malibu.

“I’ve never been through anything like this. It’s indescribable,” Lando said. “If it was just us, I’d be really okay with this. But it’s everybody. It’s everything. I’m just devastated and heartbroken for everybody, all the people we know. They don’t have houses.”
Lando described his neighborhood as mostly “hardworking folks” and people who have been around “for generations.” He also mentioned that the school his children attended is no longer there.
“I keep having this dream that this little boy comes to me and tells me that everything’s fine and this has just been a nightmare and you’re awake now and let me come show you your house is still there,” Lando continued. “I believe the little boy convinces me and I just can feel in my dream my heart lifting up and everything’s better. And he brings me to the street, and he points, and it’s all gone.”
