“So cherish what you have.”

She added: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people that showed up to help…”

“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.

“No reported injuries to civilians or firefighters. The cause of the fire is under investigation.”

Delevingne gave Architectural Digest a tour of her Los Angeles home in 2021, which she called her “adult playhouse”.

Her house includes a ball pit, projector screen, trampolines and a pool.

Delevingne’s representatives have been approached for comment.
