The 76-year-old comedian - who has been married to wife Janice since 1970 and has daughters Jennifer, 52, as well as 47-year-old Lindsay with him - was one of several celebrities who lost property in the wildfires that spread across California in January, and noted that he is just relying on the support of his family to get through it.
"It's a loaded life right now for us," he told People.
"We will be married 55 years in June, we've been through all kinds of hard things, but this is the most difficult thing you could possibly imagine.
"We're doing OK, because we have great family support, our daughters have been magnificent, and every day you inch forward. That's all I can tell you."
Other celebrities who lost their homes in the disaster included heiress Paris Hilton, reality stars Spencer and Heidi Montag and 'Schitt's Creek' actor Eugene Levy, amongst a host of others.
At the time, Crystal gave a statement expressing the heartbreak of losing the home where he had raised his family.
"Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing. We ache for our friends and neighbours who have also lost their homes and businesses in this tragedy.
"Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can't be taken away. We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this.
"We are praying for the safety of the firefighters and first responders."
The fires were declared 100 per cent contained towards the end of January, having already destroyed almost 20,000 properties and claimed the lives of 29 people.
