Cara Delevingne’s parents reveal cause of horror blaze that destroyed her £5m mansion where star had ‘her whole life’

CARA Delevingne's parents have revealed that the horror blaze which destroyed their daughter's £5 million LA mansion was caused by the electrical wire issue.

The model was comforted by her family as she was seen for the first time since the devastating fire completely gutted her home where she had "her whole life".

Friday evening, the supermodel was spotted leaving The Kit Kat Club theatre in London alongside her parents after starring in her West End show Cabaret.

Her parents, Pandora and Charles, were quizzed by the media as they queued up to enter the club before the show.

The star's father said that the reason behind the fire was the electrical fault which got out of control due to high winds in the area.

Charles mentioned that "something fell on a powerline" as it was a "very windy" night in Southern California.

When asked about how Cara was coping with the sad news, the model's mother added that her daughter was "devastated".

Pandora said: "She had everything in her house, her whole life.

"She built it, she made it. She has everything in it."

On Instagram, Cara addressed the blaze that tore through her £5.5million ($7m) home in the early hours of Friday.

She wrote: "My heart is broken today. I cannot believe it. Life can change in a blink of an eye. So cherish what you have.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people that have showed up to help."

The fate of her two adorable cats was unknown, until she later shared an adorable picture of the pair, writing: "THEY ARE ALIVE!! THANK YOU TO THE FIREFIGHTERS."

The official cause of the fire isn't clear yet, but it is thought to have begun in a backroom of the property and rapidly spread to the attic, causing part of the roof to collapse.

An emergency call was made at 3.57am local time.

When the fire broke out, Cara's cats were inside the house with another occupant - who reportedly got treated for smoke inhalation.

It took the huge team of firefighters in 13 fire engines over two hours to get the flames under control.

A post to the LAFD website said: "Firefighters arrived to find a four-storey building with fire showing from the second floor.

"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."

The 31-year-old British supermodel-turned-actress was not staying at the residence at the time.

An officer from the Los Angeles Police Department told  that there was "nothing to suggest that it was criminal activity".

The LAPD added: "There is no indication of an arson or criminal investigation right now."

The Suicide Squad actress bought her 8,000-square-foot mansion in 2019.

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.

Cara's representatives have been approached for comment.

The catwalk star is currently in London, where she has made her stage debut as Sally Bowles in the award-winning production Cabaret.

It is a dream role for Cara who auditioned for and won the coveted part previously played by A-listers including Liza Minnelli and Dame Judi Dench.

She said recently: "There are no words to explain the excitement I have to return home to make my stage debut in such an iconic role.

"I am so inspired by the brilliant actors who have played Sally in past productions around the world and in this one in the West End.

"I cannot wait to be a part of this brilliant cast and production."

Cara will be playing Sally Bowles in the West End hit until June 1.
