Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are two lucky Hollywood stars ... 'cause both of their houses appear unscathed while the rest of their neighborhoods burn around them.
TMZ has obtained photos and video of the two properties ... showing Hanks' cliffside home and Spielberg's sprawling, wooded estate still standing.
Check out the clip ... the house just above Hanks' went up in flames -- with smoke still wafting in the air -- while Tom's pad stands without even a speck of ash on it.
It's quite the coincidence that these two houses have survived the blaze while so many other celebs have lost their homes ... given Spielberg and Hanks are frequent collaborators and close friends.

Oh be still my beating heart.
The fire is not over yet.
My wife wanted me to ask this so here goes.....how come THEIR homes survived?
Some animals are more equal than others.
I thought Tom Hanks moved to Greece.
They’re special, don’cha know.
Probably mostly luck. However, these guys have enough money to have done preventative measures like private water reservoirs and stuff.
That’s what I’d like to know!
Houses? They look like Luxury Hotels
Indeed.
I’d be willing to bet they have a misting system hooked into their pool.
It wouldn’t be too expensive to setup and I’d call it mandatory for CA canyon living.
Both of those unfortunate souls have a real fire waiting for them after their deaths and it will not be quenched.
The closer they get to physical death, the less time afforded them to repent and ask for the saving of their souls.
They simply believe they will not have an eternal death.
The devil can buy and sell souls at will with willing folks.
The more I see just how ridiculously opulent these adult children’s homes are the less I care if they get destroyed.
I know as a Christian that is wrong, I just can’t gin up pity though for people who hate me and now want my sympathy that they can’t live the good life for a few months (let’s face it for most it will only be an inconvenience) off the backs of others.
Tired of the media treating them like royalty and somehow they warrant mope pity than the hard working common folk in the average neighborhood destroyed out there.
HA! Sometimes I say the craziest things. 🤪
Tito lives on top the hill that Forest lives on. been to both their homes many times. Dennis Tito is the guy that paid the Russians to go to the space station
They were probably smart enough to use fire-resistant construction methods. No exposed wood. No open vents. Stucco over everything, including bottom of decks. Thick, well-insulated walls. No eaves (or minimal eaves). Might have installed emergency sprinklers.
Did they fire proof it by intelligently landscaping and keeping cumbustibles a safe distance away?
I did a little research on wildfire external fure suppression systems yesterday.
Apparently they’re around 10 to 15k......in an area that prone to wildfires I don’t know how you couldn’t make that investment......but if the system is dependent on city water supply......well 🤷
