"Grey's Anatomy" star, Caterina Scorsone, recently opened up in an Instagram post about her devastating house fire that happened a few months prior. She detailed how she was able to save all three of her children in the few minutes they had to flee the house, but unfortunately lost their four pets. She shares her three children, Lucky 3, Eliza 10, and Paloma "Pippa," 6, with her ex-husband Rob Giles. The first photo in her Instagram post is of their charred house, which completely burned down from the fire, while the rest of the photos are of their three cats and dog that passed away in the fire.

"While getting my kids ready for bed and finishing bath time, smoke began to seep up through the grout around the tub. When I looked down the hallway, a river of thick black smoke had already formed and was filling the house," Scorsone recalled. "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 shared. "Heartbreakingly, we lost all four of our pets. We are still sitting with that loss, but we are lucky we got to love them at all." The actress who plays Amelia Shepard in "Grey's Anatomy" also shared how thankful she is for the community that came together to help her during the tough time. "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."
