Home of actress destroyed by fire

A Los Angeles mansion belonging to British model and actress Cara Delevingne has been devastated by fire.

The 31-year-old was not there at the time, as she is currently starring in a stage performance on London's West End.

Pictures show huge flames coming from the roof of the luxury home, and later, the blackened, smouldering ruins.
"My heart is broken", Delevigne wrote on Instagram when she thought her two pet cats had died in the blaze.
"Life can change in the blink of an eye. So cherish what you have," she said.

However, she later updated her 42 million followers with the good news that the cats had survived the blaze: "They are alive! Thank you to the firefighters," she wrote.

Two people were injured in the fire, which engulfed the two-storey property in the hills of Studio City, north-west of Hollywood. A firefighter was taken to hospital in a stable condition, and a resident suffered minor smoke inhalation, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) said.

Firefighters were called to the scene after a 911 call was made at approximately 04:00 local time (11:00GMT) on Friday.
