Model and actress Cara Delevingne‘s mansion, located in the Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles (United States), was reduced to ashes after a fire broke out early on Friday, March 15, while she was in London. No fatalities were reported; only two people were injured. According to international reports, the model’s beloved cats survived the fire thanks to being rescued by firefighters. Initially, it was believed that the pets had perished in the blaze following the collapse of the house’s roof.
“My heart is broken today, I can’t believe it. Life can change in the blink of an eye, so cherish what you have,” the actress shared in an Instagram post. Minutes later, she posted a follow-up message detailing that her two kittens were safe. “Thank you, from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people who came to help,” she said.

According to People magazine, it’s unclear who was in Cara’s house during her absence, but the Fire Department confirms that one person suffered minor smoke inhalation. The 31-year-old celebrity shared a video taken near her property, showing fire trucks responding to the emergency. According to the fire department, the fire consumed a room at the rear of the house and “turned into a deep-seated attic fire.”
The operation involved 94 men and took over 2 hours to extinguish the fire. The department reported that a firefighter was treated after falling from a ladder. In 2021, Delevingne showcased her stunning home (built in 1971), which she dubbed an “adult playground,” in a YouTube video for Architectural Digest’s channel.
