"Lost" actress Evangeline Lilly lost her rented Hawaiian house in an early morning fire Wednesday morning (Dec 20).
Capt. Kenison Tejada of the Honolulu Fire department said in a statement that they received the alarm shortly before 7am and were on the scene within six minutes.Fire investigators arrived on the scene later in the day to help determine the cause of the accident, which is believed to have been a faulty electrical outlet in the outdoor porch area of the house. Damage to the house was estimated at $250,000, while the contents were valued at roughly $50,000.
Lilly shares the home with two of the show's crew members, but luckily none were injured in the blaze. The actress and one of the roommates were already on set at a Waialua Beach at the time of the fire and the third was off island for the holidays.
TMZ.com reports that Lilly, 27, and her boyfriend, costar Dominic Monaghan, arrived at the remains of the house shortly before sunset to see if anything could be salvaged. They reportedly found few items intact, but that Lilly was looking on the bright side that she was not home at the time and possibly injured.
Lilly's pr rep said the actress had no comment to make at this time. Pictures of the fire can be found on the Honolulu Advertiser website.
