Tori Spelling Recalls Her Kids 'Holding Their Breath' in Car While Evacuating L.A. Fires as She Reflects on Mom Candy Losing Home

Tori Spelling is looking back on the "panicked" evacuation she and her five kids experienced amid the L.A. wildfires, recalling how they were "holding their breath" in the car because "smoke was coming through the vents." She also discussed the loss of her parents' Malibu home.

She grabbed a few sentimental items before she fled, including a 1985 jacket from her elementary school, a seashell her uncle had given her and a couple of her crystals for "good energy." As they got on the road without a set destination, Spelling said she found herself "driving right into the fire," which made her kids — who she shares with ex-husband Dean McDermott — even more worried. Candy's longtime friend Nikki Haskell confirmed to PEOPLE on Jan. 9 that the Broadway producer, 79, had lost the home to the fires but was "safe."
