‘Big Bang Theory’ star’s home destroyed by wildfire

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — The home of “Big Bang Theory’’ star Johnny Galecki has been destroyed in a wildfire in California.

Nicole Perna, a spokeswoman for the 42-year-old actor, says his home on a ranch in the San Luis Obispo area was destroyed by the wildfire on the state’s central coast. By Tuesday night, a 2.5-square-mile (6.5 sq. kilometre) wildfire in the region was 60 per cent contained. Fire officials have only confirmed the wildfire has destroyed one building and have no details, but the full damage done by wildfires often can’t be assessed until they have been mostly contained.
