Cara Delevingne’s cats are feline fine after being rescued from her burning home on Friday. The supermodel’s $7 million Los Angeles mansion went up in flames early yesterday morning, with her parents claiming an electrical fault sparked the blaze.
Rescue Operation
The 31-year-old wasn’t at home at the time of the fire, but her two beloved cats were — and the kitties had to be rescued by responding emergency crews. On Saturday, Delevingne posted photos on her Instagram Story showing the beloved animals being carried out of the burning building by firefighters. “They are alive!!” she wrote alongside a snap of her two cats. “Thank you to the firefighters ❤️ Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people that have showed up to help.”
Extent of Damage
The fire was brought under control after firefighters spent two hours battling the flames, but the house suffered significant damage. The inferno started near the back of the house and consumed a room, causing the roof to collapse. Four ambulances were called, and one firefighter sustained injuries during the operation.
Cara Delevingne’s Reaction
Expressing her devastation, Delevingne’s mother, Pandora, shared that her daughter had lost everything she had in her home. The British actress, known for movies like “Paper Towns,” purchased the four-bedroom dwelling in 2019. “My heart is broken today… I cannot believe it. Life can change in the blink of an eye,” Delevingne said. “So cherish what you have.”
Investigation
Currently, there is no indication of an arson or criminal investigation into the incident. Delevingne’s parents, Charles and Pandora, suspect an electrical issue caused the fire. Charles explained in a video that the fire possibly started after something fell on a powerline during very windy conditions.
