General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco Suffering After Wildfires

There’s no doubt that the events of the last few weeks have taken a massive toll on her mental health.

General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco Suffering After Wildfires

Of course, we are talking about General Hospital alum Kelly Monaco as there’s some speculation suggesting that she might be suffering after the wildfires.

Now, that doesn’t mean that her house had burnt down in the wildfires. Instead, there’s a very good chance that she might be suffering from PTSD after her own house burned down back in 2022 after a horrible accident.

As many General Hospital fans can probably recall, the actress was asleep in her bedroom when someone flicked a cigarette onto a nearby property. 

At the time, Kelly said she was sleeping at her Sherman Oaks, Calif., home when she awoke to find a raging fire in her backyard where the blaze was right against her windows. To make things even more frightening, the fire quickly burned her home down, but Kelly managed to escape. “Something as little as a cigarette butt can cause casualties and devastation,” the 45-year-old actress told the outlet.

There’s even video footage of authorities reviewing the security cameras that were turned over by Kelly. The clip showed that the fire was started after someone tossed the butt into an empty lot next door to her house.

“This is how it started. Isn’t this crazy?” Monaco can be heard saying in the background of the video.

Kelly, who was the first-ever winner of Dancing with the Stars, has played Sam McCall on General Hospital since 2003. She returned to Dancing with the Stars in 2012 to compete to win another mirror ball trophy but got third place.

Unfortunately, she was also fired from General Hospital in 2024 despite being on the show for more than two decades. However, there are some fans out there that are hoping she will come back.

So far Kelly Monaco herself has not made any comments about the wildfires. She hasn’t stated whether or not she’s lost her home or if she was affected by the tragedy at all.
