A mom feels "blessed" her family is still alive after watching her house burn down on a stranger's TikTok video while on vacation.
Laura Camuglia-Byrnes, 56, was away for a few days at Joshua Tree National Park, California, with her cat and dog, when the wildfires started.
Two days into her trip she received a message from her two daughters to say flames at Eaton Canyon from their house and were evacuating their home.
Laura knew her neighbourhood would be next - and took to TikTok to track the fire.
She was horrified when she discovered a stranger's video which showed her home burning.
Former business owner Laura says her entire town has burned down and she has lost everything.
Despite the loss, Laura said it is a "miracle" and she is "blessed" that her friends and family are still alive.
