Cara Delevingne House Caught Fire, Firefighters Battle Fire for 2 Hours: Studio City Mansion Destroyed in Fire
A devastating fire ripped through actress and model Cara Delevingne’s Studio City mansion on Friday, March 15th, 2024. Firefighters heroically battled the blaze for over two hours before bringing it under control.
A house fire burned for more than two hours on Friday morning at the hillside Studio City home of model and actress Cara Delevingne.
The fire started around 4 a.m. at the model’s mansion. Firefighters rushed to the scene when flames and smoke were spotted rising from the burning two-story house. The fire, near Fryman Canyon Park, was reported at about 4 a.m. when firefighters were called to the 3000 block of North Oakdell Lane east of Fryman Road. Flames and smoke could be seen from nearby freeways.
One firefighter was taken to the hospital in fair condition, while a resident suffered minor smoke inhalation.
The fire began at the rear of the 6,650-square-foot mansion built in 1971 and spread to the attic, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. One room was engulfed in flames before the fire reached the attic, causing a roof collapse.
Details about the cause of the fire were not immediately available. The fire was extinguished just after 6:30 a.m. TMZ first reported that the house belongs to actress and model Delevingne, known for her roles in “American Horror Story,” “Only Murders in the Building,” and “Suicide Squad,” among others. The 4-bedroom, 6-bathroom home was featured in a June 2021 Architectural Digest video with Delevingne. TMZ reported that she was not home at the time of the fire.

How Cara Delevingne House Caught Fire?
Reported shortly before 4:00 am, flames engulfed the two-story, 6,650-square-foot residence located in the 3200 block of Oakdell Lane. Arriving at the scene, firefighters encountered heavy fire concentrated in the rear of the house.
The flames quickly spread, consuming a room and igniting a deep-seated attic fire, according to a statement from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). The intense heat compromised the structure, forcing firefighters to take a defensive approach, battling the flames from outside the house.

“My heart is broken today. I cannot believe it. Life can change in a blink of an eye, so cherish what you have,” she wrote in a heartbreaking post.
In a later post, she expressed her gratitude to the firefighters, thanking them “from the bottom of my heart” and sharing a photo of her two cats with the caption, “They are alive! Thank you to the firefighters.”
Current Situation and Investigation:
The mansion is reportedly destroyed, with a collapsed roof and extensive fire damage.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the LAFD.
Delevingne is likely assessing the situation remotely and will need to determine the next steps regarding the property.
