Cara Delevingne’s Los Angeles home reportedly destroyed by a fire
A Los Angeles home that appears to belong to the model and actor Cara Delevingne was destroyed in a fire Friday.
One firefighter was taken to a hospital in fair condition with unspecified injuries, and a housesitter who was inside at the time was treated for minor injuries, a Los Angeles fire department spokesperson, Nicholas Prange, said.
Delevingne shared several Instagram stories that seemed to refer to the fire after TMZ reported that the house in the Studio City neighborhood that had been engulfed in flames before dawn belonged to her.
Firefighters arrived at the two-story house to find heavy fire in the rear, which destroyed a room and spread to the attic, Prange said. Once fire crews made certain everyone was out of the house, they took a defensive position and the roof collapsed. It took them more than two hours to put out the flames.
Hours later, Delevingne shared a video that showed a street full of fire trucks with lights flashing. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people that have showed up to help,” another Instagram story read.
A third Instagram story showed a photo of two cats with the caption: “My heart is broken today I cannot believe it life can change in the blink of an eye cherish what you have.”
Delevingne’s representatives did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. The cause was under investigation.
“There was a very long driveway, where they found a large two-story, single-family home that had fire and smoke showing from the rear,” said LAFD captain Adam VanGerpen. “This got up into the attic and spread throughout the majority of the home. So the home has a lot of excessive damage.”
The 31-year-old London-born Delevingne became widely known as a fashion model in the early 2010s and later began acting, appearing in the 2016 DC Comics film Suicide Squad and director Luc Besson’s 2017 film Valerian and the
City of a Thousand Planets.
She also appeared in the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez in 2022, and on FX’s American Horror Story in 2023.
Delevingne was reportedly in England at the time of the fire where she will star in a production of Cabaret in London.
