Early Friday morning, a devastating blaze engulfed the Los Angeles home of renowned actress and model Cara Delevingne, inflicting substantial damage and injuring two individuals.
Responding swiftly to the emergency call, the Los Angeles Fire Department rushed to the Studio City residence nestled in the Hollywood Hills just before 4 a.m. local time. Flames raged fiercely at the rear of the house, swiftly spreading to the attic, as detailed in a press release by the fire department.
Amidst the chaos, one firefighter was transported to the hospital in fair condition, while another individual inside the residence suffered minor smoke inhalation, according to official reports.
The battle against the inferno demanded the concerted efforts of 94 firefighters, persisting for over two grueling hours. Tragically, the relentless flames devoured the structure, causing the roof to collapse before the fire was finally subdued.
CNN has made efforts to contact Delevingne’s representative for a statement.
Despite the catastrophic event, the “Carnival Row” luminary continues her commitments in London’s esteemed West End production of “Cabaret,” with a scheduled performance on Saturday. Addressing the calamity on her Instagram Stories, Delevingne shared a poignant message atop an image of her beloved cats, expressing profound sorrow.
“My heart is broken today,” her message reads, accompanied by a snapshot of her feline companions. Additionally, a video posted on her Stories captures fire trucks stationed near the scene.
In a subsequent slide, Delevingne extends heartfelt appreciation to the valiant firefighters, urging her followers to cherish life’s fleeting moments. Ensuring her fans of her pets’ safety, she shares another image of her cats, confirming their well-being and reiterating gratitude towards the firefighters.
As investigations into the cause of the fire unfold, the Los Angeles Fire Department remains diligent in unraveling the circumstances surrounding this distressing incident.
