"Grey's Anatomy" star Caterina Scorsone shared details on Instagram about a terrifying house fire she experienced a "couple months ago," posting that she had just a few minutes to rescue her children but tragically lost all four family pets in the blaze. 

In a post shared Monday, Scorsone wrote: "While getting my kids ready for bed and finishing bath time, smoke began to seep up through the grout around the tub. When I looked down the hallway a river of thick black smoke had already formed and was filling the house." 

Scorsone said she had just minutes to get her three children out of the house, and while she's "eternally grateful" they are safe, she's heartbroken over the loss of their three cats and their dog. 

"We are still sitting with that loss, but we are lucky we got to love them at all," she wrote. 

In the post, Scorsone shared photos of her home before and after the fire, including pictures of her cats and dog.

"Here are some photos to honor the space we once called home, to say goodbye to the animals that loved us so well, and to celebrate that we have the only thing we ever really needed: each other," she wrote.
