Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS, said the organization was “happy” to replace the trophy.
“We were devastated to learn of the destruction of Tracey’s home, and with it, her well-earned Emmy Award,” he said. “As our judges acknowledged, the Emmy statuette is a symbol of her hard work and outstanding dedication to her craft.”
He added, “We are happy it’s back home where it belongs.”
Back in 2020, Bregman marked the two-year anniversary of the fire with photos and a video of the devastation in Malibu, California.
“Today, Mark’s [sic] two years where everything changed,“she captioned the clip. “Yes, the loss of my home and my friends homes has been Devastating and So many precious things lost, I still go to reach for something and realize it is gone.”
“As you know, I look for the good in everything or try to. So many beautiful silver linings, people met and journey’s [sic] started and friends who truly showed me the true meaning of friendship because of this experience,” she added. “We may all be rebuilding (i hope for me soon) but this bonding experience will always be with us.”
“I am forever grateful for the Fire fighters [sic] and to our community who stepped up to help all of us and to our neighbors that showed up in such extraordinary ways. You are our heroes forever #malibustrong #onelovemalibu #woolseyfire”
