People are saying that The Pillars Of Creation have been destroyed, and will take 400-500 Million light years to reach us. Can someone explain how do we know it when the light hasn’t reached us?

People don’t seem to understand that light years is a measurement of distance, not time. It won’t take 4-500 million light years to reach us, it will have to travel 4-500 million light years to reach us.
