MALIBU, Calif. — Actress and TV personality Ricki Lake escaped injury Saturday when her Malibu rental home burned down.
The former talk-show host was home with her two sons and the family dog when the fire broke out, her rep told Entertainment Tonight.
Lake, 41, told authorities she was trying to refuel a portable heater when the couch caught fire and the flames quickly spread throughout the home, destroying many of her personal items.
The Hairspray star and her sons – Milo, 13, and Owen, 9 – are now staying with friends.
