Kimora Lee Simmons says she and her family are doing fine after their house caught fire.
She shared a picture of the LAFD standing in front of a fireplace in her home and writes, “My house caught fire. The kids and I are all fine,” Simmons wrote on her Instagram Story.
“I cannot express the deepest gratitude to the numerous battalions, ladders and units that attended to us for many hours today and quite possibly saved our lives,” she continued. “THANK YOU!”
Kimora previously opened up about being a single mom, and the challenges she faces. “Being a single mom, I think about my kids all the time and that’s it. My kids, their friends, my other kids, like, you know, I have a lot,” Simmons told PEOPLE. “[My kids’] smiles, I feel like that’s the work that I do every day to keep that smile on their face. And again, that ‘smile’ means so much.”
“I’m a single mom of five kids and I know how hard it can be and I don’t want to start crying, but it’s Mother’s Day, I know how that feels like to raise your kids and to get up every day and only care about them,” she continued.
“And it doesn’t matter, if you’re rich and famous or you’re this thing or this singer, that singer, at the end of the day, you’re a mom or you’re a cousin, you’re an auntie, you’re a family member, you’re a community person, a caregiver, you’re just there trying to make everything come together.”
