Davis Love III’s home in St. Simons Island, Georgia, was destroyed by a fire early Friday. The Loves were at home when the fire began and called emergency officials at 5:18 a.m. ET. Three fire engines responded but were unable to save the home.
“While everyone in our family is saddened at the loss of our home that was filled with so much laughter and incredible memories, we’re very blessed that everyone is safe and unharmed,” Love said in a statment released on Friday.
“We’re very thankful to the first responders who made a valiant effort to save our home, and we’re keeping things in perspective as people across our community and around the world are struggling with the current unprecedented health crisis,” Love said.
