Blaze destroys Lost star's home

A fire has destroyed the home of Lost actress Evangeline Lilly in the town of Kailua on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

No one was at the rented residence at the time of the blaze and no one was injured - though most of its contents was destroyed, according to AP.

"Evangeline was on set already when the fire occurred," her publicist has confirmed. "Luckily, her roommates were not in the house either."

Lilly, 27, plays crash survivor Kate Austen in the hit US drama.

The Canadian actress is reportedly engaged to her British co-star Dominic Monaghan.

The fire broke out around 0630 local time on Wednesday.

According to a spokesman for the Honolulu Fire Department, the house was "fully involved" in flames by the time firefighters involved.

"We stopped the fire from spreading," he said. "It took us maybe 15 to 20 minutes to knock down the main body of fire."

Only the roof and a couple of interior walls were left standing, said reports.
