Lost Star's Home Destroyed by Fire
The Kailua house that Golden Globe nominee Evangeline Lilly calls home while lensing Lost was consumed by a fire early Wednesday morning, says the Honolulu Advertiser. As of 6:45 am Hawaii time, firefighters had doused the flames but had not yet been able to enter the house. Per the Advertiser, there are no reports of anybody being inside at the time of the fire.
UPDATE: The fire, which burned for at least a half hour before a team of five fire trucks was able to quell it, left Lilly's home a total loss, says the Advertiser. Lilly, who rents the place with two female roomates, was likely filming at a Waialua beach at the time of the tragedy. (You can read a description of the cozy bungalow in this article in Elle magazine, in which she claimed to have furnished her living room for $300.) The cast of Lost is scheduled to break for Christmas on Thursday.

That's AWFUL!!!  That really sucks, especially now during the holidays! I hope she's able to recover at least something from her personal effects.

There is never a good time for something like this. Thankfully no one was injured. Hope the rest of her holidays are happier!

I swear the Lost cast is cursed. Didn't they have two arrests and wasn't someone robbed? I hear more bad things happening to those people than the cast of any other show!

Speaking of Lost. Has there ever been any word on when we're going to get the Lost mobisodes (the "Lost Diaries")? I thought Damon and Carlton said they were going to be released during the hiatus. Which is now.

I don't mean to trivialize this or anything, but does a house burning down without any injuries really count as a tragedy. It seems to me that the word is overused these days. It's a lousy thing to happen, but a tragedy?

In response to the question "is this a real tragedy" speaking from personal experience - I lost my home and everything in it - I can truthfully say yes. I had nothing left but the clothes I was wearing (fire was started by an arsonist and I was inside at the time). You have no idea how it feels to have everything - family photos, clothes, everything you have worked for in life - taken away in less than 6 minutes. There are no words to express what it is like to be homeless and without anything left except ashes. Unless you have lived it you cannot understand what it is like. So my sympathy goes out to her. I know what she is feeling.
