Cara Delevingne‘s Los Angeles-area home caught on fire this week in the dead of night — and it turned out to be a massive blaze that required the cavalry to be called in.
The model’s massive property in Studio City was ablaze early Friday morning — around 3:52 AM, we’re told — which required a massive response from the fire department … with firefighters rushing in with hoses to put out flames that had overtaken much of the home.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … a 911 call for a fire first came in around 3:57 AM PST, and when the fire crews showed up, we’re told they came to realize that a backroom of some sort on the property caught on fire — although it’s unclear what the cause is for now.
In any case, this was a big one … we’re told the fire spread up into the attic and our sources say part of the roof even collapsed. We’re told it took firefighters upwards of 2 hours to get it contained and fully put it out. Not just that, but our sources say some injuries occurred.
We’re told one firefighter fell off a ladder trying to put out the blaze and was hurt — although it’s unclear to what extent — and our sources say an occupant at the home was treated for smoke inhalation as well.
We know Cara was not on the scene … she’s in England right now, and was photographed out and about on Thursday. Cara’s been performing there at the Playhouse Theater all week.
We can’t understate how big of a fire this was, as it required a huge response. In total … we’re told 94 total firefighters showed up to fight the blaze in 13 different engines that arrived on the scene. Our sources say 4 ambulances were also sent to the property.
It goes without saying, Cara’s home here is a beaut and was actually featured in an Architectural Digest spread in 2021 — where she and and her sister gave a tour of the grounds, including their remodel of the inside. It’s a 4-bed, 6-bath home that’s over 8,000 sq. feet.
It includes just about all the bells and whistles of luxury in Los Angeles.
Interesting tidbit — this home was originally built in 1941 for a famous family … the Von der Ahes, the founders of the Vons supermarket chain. So yeah, there’s history for this house.
We’ve reached out to her camp … so far, no word back.
