‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star Caterina Scorsone 'heartbroken' after her four pets die in horrific house fire
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star Caterina Scorsone had to go through a heartbreaking loss. The ‘Private Practice’ star lost her four fur babies in a devastating house fire that engulfed her entire mansion. Taking to social media, the ‘Alice’ star shared her harrowing experience of the incident. She also informed her close to 4 million followers that while she and her family members survived the fire, her four pets were not that fortunate.
‘Station 19’ alum started the post by saying, “A couple of months ago my house burned down. 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.”

'We're still sitting with that loss'
The medical show veteran said in her post, “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 she could save her three children by taking them out in two minutes, she wasn’t lucky in getting her pets out. Scorsone 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,” said the mother-of-three who is still reeling from the heartbreaking loss.
However, all is not bleak in her post. She penned a letter of gratitude to the people who helped her in her time of crisis. She added, “This is not a post about a fire. This is a post about community. This is a love letter to the incredible people that showed up and the incredible ways that they did.” “Thank you to the firefighters and the investigators (thank you Trey!) Thank you to my neighbor who answered our frantic knocks at her door. Thank you to the parents at my kids’ school who sent toys and books, my friends at @greysabc and @shondaland who sent clothing and supplies, my sisters who flew in to handle logistics so that I could be with my kids. Thank you to my team who made everything easier,” wrote the television star who showed her gratitude to everyone who helped her.
Even though she and her family came out victorious against the conflagration, it wasn’t without a major lesson learnt, “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,” ‘Mr Dressup’ star ended the post with a “❤️” emoji.
