The 55-year-old singer’s sprawling 10,000 square-foot estate, known as El Oasis, was captured in flames by a local TV crew. The fire entirely consumed one building’s roof.
Firefighters were observed at the scene, battling the blaze as thick plumes of black smoke billowed into the sky. Supplementary drone footage revealed that firefighters successfully extinguished the flames.
The singer’s representative informed TMZ that Marc Anthony, along with his family and staff, is safe following the fire. The singer, along with his wife Nadia Ferreira, 24, and their seven children, were not at home when the fire broke out.
Neither the salsa singer nor his spouse have shared any details about the incident on social media.
The representative reported that three bungalows were destroyed in the fire, while one managed to survive. Additionally, the flames consumed a lounge area on the property.
“The main house did not suffer any damage and the fire department has everything under control and started an investigation,” the rep told the outlet.
The cause of the blaze hasn’t been determined. Anthony has expressed his gratitude to the emergency services for their swift response.
