Rachael Ray and her family escaped a fire at her home in Lake Luzerne, located in upstate New York. The celebrity chef was with her husband, her mom and their dog at the house when the fire started on Monday night.
A rep for Ray told CNN that everyone was “safe” but that the home was “unfortunately damaged.” It’s not known yet what caused the fire as investigators remain diligent in their assessment. Fans of her show would recognize her home as it was the backdrop to The Rachael Ray Show while she filmed from home amid the coronavirus pandemic. Ray, who lost her dog Isaboo in May, took to Twitter to comment on all that went down, first thanking the local first responders for “being kind and gracious” and doing all they could to save as much of her home as they could, “These are the days we all have to be grateful for what we have, not what we’ve lost.”

I too lost my home to fire and know how awful it is. So glad to hear that all those near and dear to you are safe and that you can hold each other close and come through the nightmare together.

The house is just a thing. It can be replaced. What’s important is everyone is safe.

@rachaelray I’m glad to hear everyone is ok. I lost everything, including my pup, when my house was intentionally set on fire in September 2019. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Thoughts go out to you and yours.
