Cara Delevingne speaks out after Hollywood mansion extensively damaged in major fire

Cara Delevingne's Hollywood mansion has been extensively damaged in a major fire.

The British-born model and actress's Studio City home, reportedly worth $7m (£5.5m), was engulfed in flames and smoke on Friday morning, causing the roof to collapse.

Delevingne, 31, is currently in the UK starring in the musical Cabaret in London's West End.

On Friday, the star uploaded a video and three messages to her Instagram Story.

She posted a picture of two cats with a broken heart emoji, that seemed to imply the pets may have been lost in the fire, with the message: "My heart is broken today. I cannot believe it. Life can change in a blink of an eye. So cherish what you have."

In the second, she thanked the firefighters and others who came to help "from the bottom of my heart".

Flames and smoke were rising from the burning two-floor house and could be seen from nearby freeways, NBC added.

One firefighter was said to be stable in hospital after sustaining an injury involving a ladder, while the occupant suffered minor smoke inhalation, according to LAFD.

The department said crews arrived to find a major fire in the back of the 6,650-square-foot home.

Video filmed in daylight showed blackened, smouldering ruins and a large plume of smoke coming from the centre of the main part of the building, with large holes in the structure revealing blackened interiors.

A smaller building close to a swimming pool was also badly damaged.

The department said the blaze consumed one room in the back of the house and "developed into a deep-seated attic fire".

Delevingne's run as Sally Bowles in the long-running show Cabaret began on Monday.
