Los Angeles, California – Supermodel Cara Delevingne’s parents have revealed the cause of the devastating fire that engulfed her Los Angeles home. The incident occurred in the early hours of March 15, while Cara was away in London for work. An electrical fire, exacerbated by high winds in the area, heavily destroyed the 6,650-square-foot mansion.
In a video published by TMZ, Cara’s parents, Pandora and Charles Delevingne, shared the details of the tragic event. Charles mentioned the impact of power lines and the strong winds in the area, attributing them to the fire’s rapid spread. Pandora expressed Cara’s devastation over losing her cherished home, which held all her belongings and memories.
The fire, which started at the back of the residence, quickly spread to engulf a room before reaching the attic and causing a roof collapse. Firefighters worked for over two hours to extinguish the flames, with one firefighter hospitalized in fair condition and a resident suffering minor smoke inhalation.
Despite the destruction, Cara confirmed that her cats survived the fire and expressed gratitude to the first responders for their efforts. She emphasized the importance of cherishing what one has, as life can change unexpectedly. The property, purchased by Cara in 2019 for $7.8 million, had been previously featured in Architectural Digest.
Describing her home as an “adult playhouse” inspired by Hugh Hefner’s Playboy mansion, Cara highlighted its unique design and personal significance. The loss of her residence deeply impacted the model, underscoring the sudden nature of life’s changes.
In the aftermath of the fire, Cara’s resilience and appreciation for the support received from emergency responders are evident. The incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of life and the value of treasuring one’s possessions and memories.
