British model and actor Cara Delevingne is counting her blessings after discovering her cats survived a fire that burned down her home in Los Angeles.
Delevingne starred opposite Orlando Bloom in Amazon Prime's steampunk fantasy series, Carnival Row, and was featured in the second season of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building.
She is currently playing Sally Bowles in London's West End production of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.
On March 15, her home in Studio City was destroyed in a blaze that is under investigation, as the cause remains unknown.
The 31-year-old had already been in London at the time of the conflagration, which caused the roof of the home to collapse, presumably with her two cats inside.
When she discovered the horrific news from across the pond, Delevingne assumed the worst and wrote on her Instagram story:
“My heart is broken today... I cannot believe it. Life can change in the blink of an eye."
“So cherish what you have.”

But moments later, she had good news to share.
In fact, it was absolutely purrrfect.
Firefighters arrived at the scene and managed to rescue the frightened felines.
"They are alive!!" Delevingne confirmed in a text overlay in the next photo showing her two kitties.
She added, "Thank you to the firefighters," followed by a heart emoji.

More than 90 firefighters arrived at the scene to extinguish the flames that consumed the back of the 8,000-square-foot home, according to E! News.
The poor little things must've been terrified.

Cara Delevingne's House BURNS in Fire: Supermodel Gives Update on Her Pets | E! Newsyoutu.be
Animal lovers were emotional to see the adorable pets alive.
The Los Angeles Fire Department's website wrote in a post:
"Firefighters arrived to find a four-story building with fire showing from the second floor."
"It took 40 firefighters 21 minutes to extinguish the fire."
"After firefighters entered the structure to eliminate the remainder of the flames, crews ventilated the building to remove any lingering smoke and conducted a search for any victims."
The statement ended with:
“No reported injuries to civilians or firefighters. The cause of the fire is under investigation."
Page Six reported on speculation that the cause of the fire may have been electrical and that something could have fallen on nearby powerlines during windy conditions.
The LAFD told the media outlet there was “nothing to suggest that it was criminal activity.”
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) also confirmed:
“There is no indication of an arson or criminal investigation right now.”
Delevingne can rest assured her cats are alive and safe as she continues performing at the Kit Kat Club through June 1.
