The New York home of celebrity chef Rachael Ray was destroyed Sunday night in a massive fire, according to reports.
Ray, her husband and their dog are safe after the fire, which occurred in the Lake Luzerne area in upstate New York around 7:30 p.m. Sunday, according to the Post Star.
“Thank you to our local first responders for being kind and gracious and saving what they could of our home,” Ray tweeted. “Grateful that my mom, my husband, my dog… we’re all okay. These are the days we all have to be grateful for what we have, not what we’ve lost.”
