According to PEOPLE, Scorsone revealed she lost all four pets in the blaze, "We are still sitting with that loss, but we are lucky we got to love them at all."
The actor shared details of the tragic occurrence in an Instagram post on April 3. Scorsone who is 41 years old shared that she and her family were fortunate to survive, but she said that the fire ultimately destroyed her whole home and claimed all four of her adorable pets. She shared the lessons she's learned from the painful event along with a photo from the fire's aftermath and recollections of the family's cherished pets. The actress, who is well-known for playing the role of Amelia Shepherd, also appreciated her friends and neighbors for their support in getting her through the difficult period.
"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," Scorsone wrote on her Instagram post as she shared the dilapidated image of her house turned into ashes after the deadly fire broke out. "Heartbreakingly, we lost all four of our pets," she added.
She also wrote how the community helped her family out in the dire times, "What we learned is that the only thing that matters are the people (and beings) that you love. The only thing that matters is community. We would not be here without it, and we are so grateful." Continuing to express her gratitude for the safety of her family she said, "This is not a post about a fire. This is a post about community. This is a love letter to the incredible people that showed up and the incredible ways that they did. Thank you to the firefighters and the investigators (thank you, Trey!)" she wrote.
"Thank you to my neighbor who answered our frantic knocks at her door. Thank you to the parents at my kids' school who sent toys and books, my friends at @greysabc and @shondaland, who sent clothing and supplies, and my sisters who flew in to handle logistics so that I could be with my kids. Thank you to my team, who made everything easier," the actor said while experiencing the pain of losing her home and dear pets.
