TV chef Rachael Ray’s Upstate New York home was destroyed by a fire Sunday night, according to multiple reports.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office told ABC10 that multiple fire crews were called to a home owned by the celebrity cook in Lake Luzerne. Photos showed flames shooting through the roof of the house, located near Lake Vanare in the Adirondacks region.

“Seeing some of the first pictures of the fire at the Lake Luzerne home of @rachaelray and it does not look good,” WNYT reporter Mark Mulholland wrote on Twitter.

Witnesses told The Sun Community News that the house was “destroyed” by the blaze, believed to have started as a chimney fire around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. The fire was “fully involved” and the house couldn’t be saved, one person at the scene said.

Warren County Sheriff Jim LaFarr said no one was hurt in the fire.

A spokesperson for Ray told ET that she, her husband John Cusimano, and their dog Bella were all “safe” following the incident.

“The house is unfortunately damaged and we don’t yet know to what extent,” the rep said.

According to the New York Post, Ray had been producing live cooking segments for her daytime talk show during the coronavirus pandemic from the home. The TV series, “The Rachael Ray Show,” is now on summer hiatus.

Ray, 51, is a Glen Falls, N.Y., native who has hosted the syndicated “Rachael” show since 2006. She’s also written cookbooks, published the magazine “Every Day with Rachael Ray,” and hosted television shows like “30 Minute Meals,” “Rachael Ray’s Tasty Travels” and “Rachael Ray’s Kids Cook-Off.”
