Dame Joan Collins has praised the NHS and firefighters after a fire ripped through her London home on Saturday afternoon.
The Dynasty star, 85, shared a series of updates across her social media accounts about the “terrifying” blaze.
Film legend Joan can be heard muttering “oh God” in a video shared on Instagram that shows the devastating damage to her flat.
Going by the footage, all that appears to remain of her home are the bare walls and a few metal wall fixtures.

She captioned the video: “The remains of the day… see my recent #tweet Thank you @londonfirebrigade.”
The firefighters’ social media account replied saying they were glad to have helped but were “so sorry you had experience this.”
Over on Twitter she thanked the London Fire Brigade again for putting out the “terrifying fire” and husband Percy Gibson.
She wrote that Percy is her “hero” as he had battled the flames with a fire extinguisher by himself.
THANK U from the bottom of my ❤️ to the marvelous @LondonFire who attended to the terrifying fire yesterday in our flat. #threealarmfire My hero Percy had already doused the flames consuming the entire wall with handheld extinguisher (#donttakethisrisk). #gratitude #firefighters
