"The Young and the Restless" actress Tracey Bregman has her Daytime Emmy Award back.

In 2018, the actress lost her home and her coveted award during the devastating Malibu Woolsey Fire. During Bregman’s Tuesday appearance on "The Talk," she was surprised with a replacement trophy.

"I understand the Emmy was damaged beyond repair," said "The Talk" co-host Natalie Morales. "So, your family at ‘Young and the Restless’ wanted to have something for you."

Bregman’s on-screen husband, Christian Le Blanc, presented her with a black box on stage.

"Now, I would like to present this, an Emmy for outstanding ingenue in a daytime drama series," Le Blanc said as he presented Bregman the award. "But this time it's from the people who love and respect you and cherish you, your CBS, your ‘Young and the Restless’ family, and I am so honored to be able to give this to you."
