“Grey’s Anatomy” star Caterina Scorsone revealed that she and her three kids escaped a house fire that took the lives of their four pets.
Scorsone, 41, who portrays Amelia Shepherd in the long-running medical drama, posted a carousel of photos to Instagram on Monday, the first of which shows destruction to a living area that features a fireplace.
The others capture sweet moments between Scorsone and her animals, which seemingly include three cats and a dog.
“A couple of months ago my house burned down,” Scorsone claimed in the lengthy caption. “While getting my kids ready for bed and finishing bath time, smoke began to seep up through the grout around the tub. When I looked down the hallway a river of thick black smoke had already formed and was filling the house.”
Scorsone shares three daughters with her ex-husband, musician and writer Rob Giles, 49, who divorced in 2020: Eliza, 10, Paloma ‘Pippa’ Michaela, 6, and Arwen ‘Lucky’ Lucinda, 3.
“One thing about fires: they happen fast. I had about two minutes to get my three kids out of the house, and we escaped with less than shoes on our feet. But we got out. And for that I am eternally grateful,” she wrote.
“Heartbreakingly, we lost all four of our pets. We are still sitting with that loss, but we are lucky we got to love them at all.”
Scorsone continued the “love letter” to thank the community of people that helped her when the devastation hit, including her neighbor, parents at her kids’ school, firefighters, and investigators, as well as her “friends” at “Grey’s Anatomy” and series creator Shonda Rhimes’ production company, Shondaland.
“What we learned is that the only thing that matters are the people (and beings) that you love. The only thing that matters is community. We would not be here without it and we are so grateful. Thank you.”
“Here are some photos to honor the space we once called home, to say goodbye to the animals that loved us so well, and to celebrate that we have the only thing we ever really needed: each other,” Scorsone concluded.
The Post has contacted reps for Scorsone for comment.
