LAKE LUZERNE, NY – A upstate New York home owned by television cooking star Rachael Ray was damaged in a fire according to the Warren County Sheriff’s Department. The fire damaged most of the upper level of Ray’s home while she and her family were inside. All escaped without injury.
“Rachael, her husband and their dog Bella are safe,” said spokesperson Charlie Dougiello. “The house is unfortunately damaged and we don’t yet know to what extent.”
Ray herself later posted on Twitter to let her fans know she is ok.
“Thank you to our local first responders for being kind and gracious and saving what they could of our home. 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,” Ray said after the fire.
Throughout the pandemic, Ray has been broadcasting very popular “#stayathome” recipes and cooking shows.
