Rachael Ray is healing from the loss of her upstate New York home that was ravaged in a devastating fire last year, and revealed that she has plans to move back in.
The celebrity chef, 52, opened up about the incident during Thursday’s episode of “The Rachael Ray Show” and gave viewers a tour of her home, which is currently under construction, Page Six reported.
“So here is our bedroom,” Ray said, showing off an empty room where she and her husband John Cusimano, 53, used to sleep.
“This is the wall where I heard the fire climbing through the wall. The last time I was here, there was literally no roof," she adde.
The clip then shows bare walls in the process of reconstruction, while Ray recalls the state of the house immediately after the fire, saying “Like nothing, the house was gone. At least you can see some bones.”
The star said her and her husband don’t plan on moving back into their home until its “done done.”
“We wanted to share with you guys because you’re so kind and you’ve shared so much with us in your thoughts and your prayers and your very beautiful, very open and honest letters,” Ray said. “Thank you for letting us into your lives and trusting us and we’ll let you know when it’s a lot closer because we’re going to go back immediately.”
Ray and Cusimano have been living in a guest house on the Lake Luzerne property since the fire in August which started in the fireplace chimney and was declared accidental.
“Thank you to our local first responders for being kind and gracious and saving what they could of our home,” Ray said. “Grateful that my mom, my husband, my dog… we’re all okay.”
