Sarah Michelle Gellar and her “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come” co-stars were forced to evacuate their hotel in Paris Wednesday due to a scary fire.
The cast — which includes Elijah Wood and Kathryn Newton — was in the middle of promoting their new film at the Bristol Hotel in Paris when a fire broke out in the hotel’s kitchen, TMZ reported.
The fire occurred during the film’s press junket, and the entire hotel, including 400 guests, were cleared out, according to the outlet.
A rep for the hotel confirmed the mass evacuation in a statement to Entertainment Weekly, noting that all guests are safe.
According to the rep, the fire has been fully contained and extinguished, and all guests have returned.
“The hotel, along with all of its outlets, with the exception of 114 Faubourg, has now reopened,” the statement reads.
The film’s stars made no mention of the fire on social media, though Newton, 29, appeared unbothered on Instagram, posting video of her posing in what appears to be the inside of the hotel.
“Ready or Not 2: Here I Come” is the sequel to 2019’s “Ready or Not.” Samara Weaving reprises her role as Grace, and according to the film’s synopsis, she and her sister Faith (played by Newton) must now outrun four rival families competing for a powerful throne.
The horror-comedy film is out March 27.
Gellar, 48, recently mourned the deathof her “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” co-star Nicolas Brendon, who died Friday at the age of 54.
Gellar played the iconic main character, Buffy Summers, in the beloved series that ran for seven seasons. Brendon played one of her best friends, Xander Harris.
“‘They’ll never know how tough it is to be the one who isn’t chosen,’” Gellar wrote on Instagram, quoting Brendon’s character. “‘To live so near to the spotlight, and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes, because nobody’s watching me.’”
She added, “I saw you Nicky. I know you are at peace, in that big rocking chair in the sky.”
