But over the past year she has been splitting her time between the West Coast and London after returning to EastEnders for stints as her iconic alter ego, Bianca Jackson.

After Christmas, Patsy jetted back to the UK to resume filming on the BBC soap, just days before Los Angeles was hit by a number of devastating wildfires.

The numerous blazes have left numerous communities around LA in ruins including Pacific Palisades, Hollywood Hills and Malibu.

Taking to Instagram, Patsy shared a video where she revealed her home is thankfully still intact, having managed to survive a previous fire threat just weeks earlier.

She said: “‘I have just woken up after having the first night sleep I have had in quite a few nights obviously because of the fires in California where I live.

“I am here in London working feeling pretty helpless and all I can really do from here is share the resources of everyone is working tirelessly to help and give whatever people need.”

Patsy continued: “All I can say is, I hope it doesn’t sound like something unattainable for people at the moment, but honestly meditation.

“If you can find a few seconds to breath as deeply as possible. Understand that what is gone is gone, the future is just a dream its not real.

“What we all have no matter what circumstances we are going through, all we have right now is this time, right now, this present moment.”

In another post, Patsy shared pictures and videos from when she had cleaned out her garage to find precious keepsakes with her husband after a previous fire threat.

She captioned the clips: “The week before Christmas I received a call at 2am LA time from my husband telling me they had been evacuated due to fire surrounding our house in Malibu .

“The whole neighborhood was on fire! I flew home to our precious home still standing but our neighbours had gone and the land next door burned.

“We cleaned out the garage finding things from years ago that we kept. Precious memories, photos , keepsakes etc. I felt an overwhelming sadness that we nearly lost these things .

“We had the most grateful Christmas to date enjoying being together mostly, still in our home. I left back to London to work with a full heart NEVER EXPECTING THIS TO HAPPEN a week later !!

“I experienced a small part of what it feels like to have lost everything we own and it was painful enough so to experience this again is beyond words.

“Our house is miraculously OK again. It’s traumatic for everyone to lose everything they own and the precious memories that we often don’t know that we have in our garages. We laugh and say get rid of it but when it is taken it hits different.”

She continued: “In 2018 a bit part of Malibu burned it was shocking to the core, we lost a rental so we were without a home for 3 months it was hard on the kids.

“I come from Bethnal Green and its a world away from these types of disasters. Having been through that though I also know how amazing community can be.

I’ll be sharing resources as I am helpless again here in London . I love you all so much.

“It was so beautiful to see how everyone pulled together and helped everybody with things and trauma and just everything really.

“My family and pets are safe and I know will be doing what they can to help. Its surreal as you drive 20 minute up the road and its like nothing is happening.

“The sun is shining and life is going on ( Thankgod ) but yes it’s surreal for sure. Sending all of my energy to everyone today.

” May you be blessed with healing love and so much understanding at this crazy time. I’ll be sharing resources as I am helpless again here in London . I love you all so much.

“These are just some videos from the Christmas holiday that I took . Seem so small in comparison. Help it make sense for people.”
