Thank God you are alright-Johnny Mathis

My heart goes out to the LEGENDARY SINGER, Johnny Mathis and the horrible accident which took place at his BELOVED mansion of over 50 years.

tragic loss of all the great memorabilia he must have kept in his palace. GOD watch over him and his recovery.

Johnny Mathis was returning home to Los Angeles after a concert in Ohio when he found that his Hollywood Hills home had burned down.

A fire destroyed iconic singer Johnny Mathis' Hollywood Hills mansion Monday night.
Mathis, an 80-year-old crooner known for pop hits such as “Misty” and “Chances Are,” learned the 5:30 p.m. blaze had ravaged his cherished home of 56 years when he landed in Los Angeles after a concert in Cleveland.
“Someone said that there was a fire at the house,"Mathis told KTLA-TV after seeing the extent of its damage. "I was thinking a little fire."
“It’s the only house I’ve ever had," he added. "There’s nothing left."
Narrow roads prevented fire crews from accessing the residence in the 1400 block of Stebbins Terrace, officials said. Firefighters hiked up the hill to Mathis’ home to save what they could from the estate.
“Due to the fact the neighbors had said something, we immediately got all his trophies and some of his memorabilia that was irreplaceable,” Los Angeles Fire Department Battalion Chief Dean Zipperman told the TV station.

It’s not clear what started the fire. A Fire spokesman said the fire spread from outside, but another Los Angeles Fire Department official placed the inferno's origin in a room filled with aquairum equipment.

Much of Johnny Mathis' home was destroyed Sunday 

The loss of Mathis’ home comes as the singer tours the United States to celebrate a musical career spanning 60 years. He's expected to perform in Branson, Mo. next week.

Mathis, wearing a New York Yankees hat, remained optimistic while looking through the fire’s damage alongside firefighters, whom his publicist thanked in a tweet just before midnight local time.
