The actress posted photos of the devastation on her Instagram account. One photo caption read, “NYC’s finest trying to put out the flames to mine n many others apartments. Speechless…for those that are hurt.” Another caption read, “A hole where my NYC home of the last 22 years once stood…RIP 123 2nd Avenue.”

Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland was also affected by the news. “I grew up across the street. Thinking of my childhood neighborhood. Explosion shreds East Village, building collapses,” she tweeted.

Four people were in critical condition and at least 15 others were injured after the fire in Manhattan’s East Village Thursday afternoon. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said preliminary evidence “suggests a gas-related explosion,” but the investigation is ongoing.
