Grey's Anatomy star Caterina Scorsone details saving her children from a house fire
"We escaped with less than shoes on our feet," Grey's Anatomy star Caterina Scorsone shares in a new Instagram post
Grey’s Anatomy star Caterina Scorsone shares that a “couple months ago” a fire ravaged her Southern California home, forcing her to act fast in order to save her three children from the blaze.
Scorsone lived in the now-destroyed property with her three children: Eliza, 10, Paloma, 6, and Lucky, 3, as well as her ex-husband Rob Giles. In a post on Instagram, the actor recalls the moment smoke started filling her house as her family was winding down for the evening.
“While getting my kids ready for bed and finishing bath time, smoke began to seep up through the grout around the tub,” Scorsone writes. “When I looked down the hallway a river of thick black smoke had already formed and was filling the house. One thing about fires: They happen fast. I had about two minutes to get my three kids out of the house, and we escaped with less than shoes on our feet. But we got out. And for that I am eternally grateful.”
While she and her children reached safety, Scorsone’s four pets—three cats and one dog—died in the fire.
