The California wildfires have drudged up some painful memories for country musician Keith Urban. The singer revealed that his home burned down when he was only 10 years old.

In an interview with ExtraTV, Keith discussed the traumatic event from his childhood. "When I was 10, our house burned down, so I know that feeling of losing your house. We completely lost everything. Luckily, we were all okay." Giving a graphic account of what the young star saw as a child, he said, "When you are walking through the house and it’s charred, black as black everywhere you look, water's dripping and the firefighters have left, I remember thinking, 'I was just in here getting ready for school…' It gives me chills."
