Burrell was not the only Modern Family cast member to make the decision to leave California. Earlier this year, Ariel Winter, known for playing Burrell’s on-screen daughter on the series, revealed she also left Los Angeles. In an interview with People in May 2025, she said her choice came after she endured severe childhood trauma.

Ty Burrell tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that he has 'no regrets' about moving to Utah from Los Angeles with his wife, Holly Burrell, and their two teen daughters after 'Modern Family' ended in 2020.
