Mandy Moore pays tribute to mother-in-law as 'silver lining' amid devastating LA wildfires
The 41-year-old actress - who has children, Gus, four, Oscar, three, and Louise, 10 months, with musician husband Taylor Goldsmith - is "not sure what [she] would have done without" her significant other's mother in the wake of the disaster, during which the This is Us star's home was badly damaged and Kathy lost her abode.
Mandy wrote on Instagram: "It's been a hell of a year and my Mother-in-law, Kathy, has risen to the occasion in every way. Selfishly, I'm not sure what I would have done without her in the hours, days, weeks, and months since the fire. She suffered her own immense loss and has been by our side since the very beginning, without skipping a beat. I'm heartbroken that our 5 min walk to her house is no longer on the table BUT so grateful that we've been able to live under the same roof these last 6 months- if there's any silver lining in this whole thing, she's definitely ours. (sic)"
Mandy heaped praise on Kathy for "absolutely mastering" childcare of her and Taylor's three children, admitting the couple "couldn't be luckier that she's ours".
She added: "From coffee in the morning as we let the dogs out, to tea after the kids go down and talking about our grief, funny things that happened in our day, etc…. To her absolutely mastering bath time, mealtime, playtime and everything in between- including moments like when Gus declared today- 'I have to GO POOP with Gaga now!', we couldn't be luckier that she's ours and we're never letting her go.
"Seriously, she thinks she can move into her new place but that's not happening. Ha! I know you want this Birthday to just move right along, but those of us that know your friendship and heart are MORE THAN HAPPY to celebrate you today and always.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @kathy_goldsmith!! We Love you, Gaga!! Xo (sic)"
Mandy recently admitted she is "looking forward to rebuilding" her family home following the fires.
She wrote on social media: "I miss this space and our home and Altadena immensely so I'm looking forward to rebuilding version 2.0 with @sarahshermansamuel, @emilyfarnhamarchitecture and @bronstruction. (sic)"

Mandy Moore and family 'doing well' after home was damaged in Los Angeles wildfires
Mandy Moore and her family are "doing well" after their home was left badly damaged in the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year. The This Is Us actress' co-star Chrissy Metz has shared that although it was a "life-altering" experience for Mandy - who has Gus, four, Oscar, three, and Louise, 10 months, with musician husband Taylor Goldsmith - and her young family, fortunately, most of the structure of the property was "salvaged". She told Extra: 'She's doing well. I mean, thank goodness. 'A lot of the structure was able to be salvaged, which is great, but it's so jarring. It's so life-altering, and she has children and pets. It's just frightening because there's nothing you can do but hopefully get out of there.' Chrissy says she keeps in touch with all of her co-stars from the hit NBC drama - the cast of which also included Milo Ventimiglia, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, and Chris Sullivan. She said: "Oh, my gosh, everybody. We all are texting each other. I always text when any projects come out or Sterling with his nominations for 'Paradise.'' Chrissy added of Sterling K. Brown (her onscreen sibling): 'Oh, he's the best. I really feel like he's a big brother for me.' Chrissy's update on her co-star comes after Mandy recently paid tribute to her mother-in-law Kathy Goldsmith, describing her as the "silver lining" amid the devastating wildfires. As well as Mandy's home suffering damage, Kathy lost her abode. She wrote on Instagram: "It's been a hell of a year and my Mother-in-law, Kathy, has risen to the occasion in every way. Selfishly, I'm not sure what I would have done without her in the hours, days, weeks, and months since the fire.

Mandy Moore slams 'outdated' labels of older mothers
Mandy Moore hates the "outdated" attitudes that follow women who choose to have children later in life. The 41-year-old actress gave birth to her daughter Lou seven months ago, and Mandy has now hit out at people who criticise women for having babies in their 40s. During an appearance on the Not Gonna Lie podcast, Mandy explained: "I feel like having my third child at 40, this term 'geriatric pregnancy' that's thrown around. I think at least in my experience, so many of my friends are having kids later in life, whether it's by choice or it's by circumstance or biology. "I think the thing that I had the most trouble with is just like this system in general kind of treating us as this anomaly that we're like too old and we're too complicated or high risk, and really, it's like, 'Nope, we're just human beings.' "And I feel like it's just such an outdated label. So it's less about how I think the people and the perceptions they may have had, like the people in my life, it was just more about the healthcare system in general. It feels like such an outdated one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to just women in general." Mandy - who also has Ozzy, two, and Gus, four, with her husband Taylor Goldsmith - took to social media in May to celebrate Mother's Day, describing parenting as the "single greatest gift" of her life. The actress also heaped praise on the women in her life who help her to "feel less alone" as a mom. Mandy - who has been married to Taylor since 2018 - wrote on Instagram: "Being a mom is the single greatest gift of my life and while you're never off the clock worrying or stressing or planning, the quiet, unmistakable joy triumphs over everything else. I'm endlessly grateful to the moms in my life who model what it takes, lend an ear, make the best suggestions, and generally make me feel less alone on the journey."
