The home of television personality and chef Rachael Ray was engulfed in flames Sunday night, but Ray and her family were able to escape.

Video is circulating of flames ripping through the 51-year-old’s estate in the small community of Lake Luzerne in upstate New York.

The celebrity chef’s spokesperson released a statement Monday morning to the media:

“Hi and thanks for the concern. Rachael, her husband and their dog Bella are safe. The house is unfortunately damaged and we don’t yet know to what extent. I am happy to provide updates as I know.”

The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Ray had previously been producing her eponymous show from her home since the pandemic began. However, the show is on summer hiatus, according to ET.
