    John Stamos is "so proud" of his wife's attempts to "save the world"

    The 'Full House' actor has barely seen Caitlin McHugh Stamos - with whom he has six-year-old son Billy - since the wildfires broke out in Los Angeles earlier this month as she has been assisting with relief efforts via her non-profit the Civic Soul Organization, which targets communities in crisis, and he is in awe of her desire to help however she can


    Speaking to 'Extra', John said: "I'm getting ready to watch our son while my wife is out there saving the world!

    "The moment that we evacuated, I said, 'Caitlin, I think Altadena, the fire's kind of close. She was like, 'What?!' And then she just jumped, left us and went straight down to her hometown and walked into a church and said, 'How can I help?,' and yeah, we haven't seen her since."

    The 61-year-old actor celebrates his eighth wedding anniversary next month and thinks he "hit the jackpot" when he met Caitlin.

    He said: "I'm so proud of her... the kind of person she is in front of our son. I hit the jackpot, and I don't know what I did in a past life. I'm grateful, and I get it."

    Despite the damage caused by the fires, John urged people to continue to "celebrate the good" in the world.

    He said: "It's gonna take a lot of patience and trust... People out there watching this, maybe it's one percent that are affected by these fires, but we're all vulnerable in this world.

    "But keep celebrating the good, because there's so much of it out there."

    Caitlin felt "compelled" to return to her hometown of Altadena - where over 9,000 structures and 14,000 acres were destroyed by the Eaton fire - to help as much as she can and is keen to put long-term plans in place.

    In a separate interview with 'Extra', she said: "I felt compelled to come back here and spend as much time as I can here.

    "Right now, we are in this emergency aid time, right? And then we'll go into a stage of people in longer-term temporary housing, and we'll be able to focus more on rebuilding and we can focus to make sure these now current landowners become homeowners again.

    "I really want to stress that we want Altadena to stay the quaint and beautiful little diverse town that it is, because a lot of these people, if they were to sell their land now, will be [getting] pennies on the dollar. They won't be able to afford to buy a house... probably in California with what they would be getting for that burned land. So, it's gonna be a passion project for me and for a lot of people here to help these families get their homes back."
