In a deeply emotional moment, Eric Braeden, the renowned actor celebrated

for his iconic role as Victor Newman in The Young and the Restless, has revealed devastating news.

The actor, who has been a symbol of resilience both on and off-screen, was visibly shaken as he recounted the loss. Fighting back tears, Eric described how difficult it was to see his longtime residence, a place filled with irreplaceable memories, reduced to ashes. The home had been a sanctuary not just for Eric but for his family, serving as a backdrop to decades of cherished moments.

Eric admitted that he hasn’t yet broken the news to his wife, struggling with how to even approach such a heart-wrenching conversation. While he acknowledged that a new house could be built, he lamented that no reconstruction could ever replace the sentimental value and history embedded in the walls of their former home.
