Sandra Lee revealed that her Malibu home has miraculously survived the devastating Los Angeles wildfires in an emotional Instagram post on Monday. 

The Food Network star, 58 – who recently broke down crying believing she had lost her house in the blazes – took a selfie as she stood outside of her residence and admitted that she was in ‘total disbelief.’ 

The catastrophic infernos – including the Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires – began last week on Tuesday amid strong Santa Winds, with the death toll rising to 24. 

The Emmy winner penned in the caption that she was ‘able to go to Malibu late yesterday.’

‘It is with a heavy heart for my local community, yet the most shocked and grateful heart I share my home, Avalon- still stands.’ 

Lee added, ‘I could not believe my eyes to be one of 10 in my neighbor of homes still there. I do not know how. I can only ᴀssume it was the quick action of our firefighters.’
