Actor Anne Heche was “stable” in hospital amid a wave of support from fans and fellow stars following an accident in which she drove her car into a Los Angeles home, causing severe burn injuries to herself as well as damaging the house which has become “uninhabitable”.

As of Saturday, the Los Angeles police department (LAPD) said it was investigating the incident but had not determined its cause. The Los Angeles fire department (LAFD) said in a statement it took 59 firefighters to extinguish the fire.

In a statement Heather Duffy Boylston, Heche’s friend and podcast partner, said: “Anne is currently in stable condition. Her family and friends ask for your thoughts and prayers and to respect her privacy during this difficult time.”

Ohio native Heche emerged on the NBC soap opera Another World from 1987 to 1991 where she snagged a Daytime Emmy. In the 1990s she became one of the hottest actors in Hollywood and co-starred with Johnny Depp in 1997’s Donnie Brasco, with Tommy Lee Jones in 1997’s Volcano and with Harrison Ford in 1998’s Six Days, Seven Nights.

1. How is the homeowner?

Perhaps her fans could do a GoFundMe.

2. Thought I read yesterday it was actually her own house, so ...

assuming that's correct, the homeowner is in stable condition.

5. Reports say homeowner was in the back yard but unharmed.

"The home owner was in the backyard at the time of the crash and was not injured."

3. Burns are terrible injuries. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, no matter what they did, not even TFG.

4. Actresses are no longer actresses

What have they done to the English language?

6. Other issues in that same vein...

While I have absolutely no problem being inclusive, to refuse to say the word 'woman' is getting on my nerves big time. As though, the Left is content to assist the "RW"in their efforts for women to be erased in body, in autonomy and in fact, acknowledged existence.

99.9999% of those pregnant are women, so say "pregnant women and other pregnant people, " but to exclude the word women is to me is to promote misogyny.

8. I think "actress" has been retired.

I've noticed over the last several years that they're using "actor" for both men and women. It seems that some people don't like having separate male and female versions of words in English. Don't know if some people find it to be offensive to women or what. It's like how some are saying Latinx these days instead of Latino or Latina. Some people seem to want to strip gender from the language.

10. I think it's the same as the use of the word "pilot".

It denotes that one has a certain talent and skill set.

9. It's about the profession of acting (n/t)

7. A Gofundme page was created for the homeowner

According to one report, Heche appeared drunk on her podcast a few hours before the crash, but her rep said the podcast was recorded earlier:
