Sopranos star loses apartment in East Village explosion
Drea de Matteo's New York
apartment of more than two decades was among those destroyed by a building explosion and fire Thursday that
also left two dozen people injured and two unaccounted for.
"A hole where my N.Y.C. home of
22 years once stood," the "Sopranos" star wrote on Instagram. "RIP 123 2nd
Avenue."
Nineteen people were injured, four
critically after the powerful blast and fire sent flames soaring and debris
flying on Thursday.
The seven-alarm fire in New York
City's East Village caused the collapse of three buildings and fire damage to a
fourth, the New York City fire department said.
Preliminary evidence suggests a gas explosion amid plumbing and gas work inside
one of the buildings was to blame.
As of this morning, two people were unaccounted for, the NYPD
Detective Bureau said but neither has been considered official missing persons.
De Matteo also posted a photo
Thursday in homage to the firefighters who battled the blaze.
"N.Y.C.'s finest [tried] to put
out the flames to mine and many others' apartments," she captioned the
Instagram photo, adding that she was "speechless"
and sending prayers to "those that are hurt."
