GREY’S ANATOMY Star Is ‘Eternally Grateful’ Her Family Survived Terrifying House Fire
By Movieguide® Contributor
GREY’S ANATOMY star Caterina Scorsone recently revealed that her quick actions saved her children’s lives during a house fire.
The actress shared that her family’s home burned down “a couple of months ago” on Instagram.
“While getting my kids ready for bed and finishing bath time, smoke began to seep up through the grout around the tub,” she captioned photos of the fire’s aftermath. “When I looked down the hallway a river of thick black smoke had already formed and was filling the house.”
Scorsone continued, “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.”
While Scorsone was able to get her kids safely out of the house, the family lost all four of their pets in the fire.
“We are still sitting with that loss, but we are lucky we got to love them at all,” she wrote.
The actress also wrote that her post was meant to honor the “incredible people that showed up and the incredible ways that they did,” thanking the firefighters, neighbors, family, and friends.
“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,” Scorsone concluded.
