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.

Here, it’s in this excellent X thread from Sultan Knish, save it from there.

The LAFD is very diverse. It’s run by lesbians named Kristin

“People keep asking if the Kirstens can fight fires
Crowley, Brown and Kepner started as paramedics
Diversity mandates promoted paramedics to fire captains and then to the top ranks of the LAFD
They should never have been called firefighters and they can’t fight fires”
Oh thank God, it would be terrible if they were inconvenienced.
The Palisades are getting a lot of attention, of course, but the houses in Altadena which have burned are pretty ordinary.
Likely Private Firefighters were at house and a private water supply like
Kim K has installed and filled under ground .
They probably paid for the phos-chek to be sprayed on their homes. White flame retardant.
I was watching a YouTube video last night in Pasadena.
This was in a neighborhood of older homes. At least from the 1950s or earlier. They were all very modest. Mostly ranches that had been remodeled multiple times. These were not rich peoples houses.
There was a guy and his son on their roof spraying it down with their garden hoses. All their neighbors were helping them. Meanwhile the house right next door about ten feet away burned down. Then the a couple firetrucks showed up and put water on the house to save it and blasting the one next door that was a total loss.
Lol.. I checked the pics just to see that myself. (one of them DOES have a blueish tint though..)
gas powered pump
verboten in California
TBF, his home is a modernistic concrete monstrosity, so not a lot to catch on fire.
Yeah, I am having trouble feeling empathy and showing grace, myself. I have alot for the people of NC and TN after the hurricane, none for CA.
Like they were in Hawaii.
Did they have blue roofs?
Dang it...
On the matchbook cover it said the homes of ALL Communist Party voters would burn...
You may have been a liberal and converted. But from reading your post you are still filled with hate. May God have mercy on your soul.
I often put my foot in my mouth causing a point to be poorly made.
For that, I do apologize up front.
God is not all love love. Sometimes this is a small picture of his wrath and anger.
You win the “Most F* ked Up” post of the day.
Congrats Psycho.
“Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate your honest feelings.”
{{Taking a bow.}}
“You may have been a liberal and converted. But from reading your post you are still filled with hate. May God have mercy on your soul.”
______________________________
The LORD God provided the Grace through the Gift of Salvation, wherein HE granted me Mercy. It was a lifetime of continual Sin that tied me to death eternal and by the acceptance and admittance that without the sacrifice and resurrection of HIS Son, Jesus Christ I would never be granted Mercy.
What you desire to see as hate towards people is actually the hatred towards SIN. One cannot make excuses for SIN and hope to walk the without stumbling.
I mess up all the time. I sin daily and am required by my faith to admit to what I do wrong. It doesn’t make me any less loving of people.
It does, however, tend to alienate those who want to walk in sin or pardon those they love while they walk in sin.
I tell people when I am told I am kind that I am in fact vicious and that I have references for that (such as yours).
Yet...yet... it’s much better to have a line to hold to and the line I endeavor so hard to hold to is the hem of HIS garment.
