Cara Delevingne's LA home goes up in flames
LOS ANGELES - A fire damaged a two-story home in Studio City allegedly belonging to model and actress Cara Delevigne. The fire caused the roof to collapse, injuring two firefighters Friday morning.
The fire was reported just before 4 a.m. when firefighters were called to the 3000 block of N. Oakdell Lane, east of Fryman Road, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
"Firefighters arrived to find a 6,650-square-foot two-story home built in 1971, with heavy fire in the rear, which consumed one room in the rear and developed into a deep-seated attic fire," said LAFD officials in a statement.
Upon arrival, firefighters said they found the flames that began in the rear of the residence had since spread to the attic.
Delevigne is currently out of town, working in Europe, but her housesitter was allegedly in the home at the time of the fire, according to LAFD. Paramedics examined the housesitter for possible smoke inhalation, but LAFD confirmed that she was alright.
There were reportedly some cats on the property that have yet to be accounted for.

"The house subsequently sustained a roof collapse, as firefighters continued to apply hose streams from the exterior," LAFD said. "Ultimately, it took 94 firefighters 2 hours and 16 minutes to access, confine, and extinguish the flames. One firefighter was transported in fair condition, and one occupant sustained minor smoke inhalation."
All other residents have been evacuated, officials said. Fire crews confirmed that the flames were officially contained by 6:30 a.m. Friday morning. Further details on the damage have not yet been released.
On Instagram Friday morning, Delevigne posted a photo of two cats who may have died in the fire and wrote, "My heart is broken today. I cannot believe it. Life can change in a blink of an eye, so cherish what you have."
