Hard Freeze and Begonia Foliosa?

Sorry to be so ignorant, but we don't often have hard freezes around here, so I'm not sure what to expect. It's dipped below freezing for several hours for a few nights here in Santa Barbara, and this morning I went out to find my large, lovely, thriving Begonia Foliosa (Fuschia Begonia) all drooping and limp, obviously severely damaged by the hard freeze.

Will it come back? The lower stems are still green when I scratch them. Should I wait a few days or weeks and prune off the dead stuff?

Many Thanks.
