Catherine Oxenberg's new home was destroyed by the California wildfires just four days after she moved in with her sex cult escapee daughter India. 

The Dynasty actress shared several photos on Instagram last week showing what was left of her Malibu home after the deadly fires tore through.

'My beautiful home in embers. #malibufire the devastation is beyond comprehension. Tragedy for our whole community,' she wrote alongside photos of her burned home.

Oxenberg also shared a photo of a statue that she said was the 'only remnant' still standing.

The fire comes just months after Oxenberg was able to rescue her 27-year-old daughter India from the clutches of the sex slave cult NXIVM.

A source told RadarOnline that Oxenberg and her daughter 'lost everything' in the fire.  

'They had just moved in to the home four days earlier,' the source said. 'It's very sad, but everyone is okay.'

They are temporarily living elsewhere as they come to terms with the loss. 

Oxenberg revealed back in August that her daughter had finally been reunited with her family seven years after joining NXIVM.

She had spent 18 months trying to bring down the cult in a bid to get her daughter away from the organization, which has been accused of branding female members and using them as sex slaves.

The controversial group is led by Keith Raniere and his right-hand woman, Smallville actress Allison Mack.

Oxenberg initially took India to a meeting for a Nxivm motivational course back in 2011 after her daughter wanted to try her hand at being an entrepreneur. 

While she ended up distancing her from the group, India became immersed and eventually moved to the group's headquarters. 

Raniere was arrested in Mexico this year and taken to the US to face charges that he, along with Mack, coerced followers into becoming slaves to senior members.

Prosecutors said Mack helped Raniere recruit women to a secret sub-society within Nxivm whose members were branded with a surgical tool with a symbol that resembled his initials.

Despite criticism for years by ex-followers who called NXIVM a cult and a pyramid scheme, the organization's intense self-improvement classes had, at one point, earned it thousands of adherents, including some with Hollywood ties.

They included Nicki Clyne, an actress who appeared on Battlestar Galactica, Bronfman's sister Sara, and a son of former Mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

Raniere and Mack pleaded not guilty to sex-trafficking charges.
