Celebrity chef Rachael Ray is feeling "grateful" after a fire ravaged her home in upstate New York Sunday evening.

"Thank you to our local first responders for being kind and gracious and saving what they could of our home," Ray, 51, tweeted Monday. "Grateful that my mom, my husband, my dog… we’re all okay."

She added, "These are the days we all have to be grateful for what we have, not what we’ve lost."

A representative of Ray, Charlie Dougiello, previously confirmed to ABC News that firefighters were combating a blaze that tore through her home on Chuckwagon Trail in Lake Luzerne around 8 p.m. and the family was accessing the damage with local authorities.

"Rachael, her husband and their dog Bella are safe. The house is unfortunately damaged and we don't yet know to what extent," Dougiello said in a statement.

No further information, such as the origin of the blaze or the extent of the damage, has been made public. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Ray's representative said he will "provide updates as I know."

Ray had been producing her namesake show from her home since the pandemic began and wrapped filming in June.
