Jane Seymour shares emotional update after being forced to evacuate Malibu home due to wildfire

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actress Jane Seymour recalled narrowly escaping the California wildfire by leaving her house as it approached in the evening of Monday, December 9, reported the Daily Mail.

The 73-year-old Bond girl shared her experience on the red carpet of the British American Business Council (BABC) annual Christmas luncheon. She mentioned returning to her property smelling of smoke on Thursday, December 12, while heaping praise on the firefighters for doing an "astounding" job.

Jane Seymours told reporters at the event, "On Monday night, at 10.50 pm, we got a call from my partner, John Zambetti's son Johnny, who was in Serra Retreat. (He) saw a glow behind the curtains, opened the windows, saw 10-foot flames, and called us immediately and said 'Get out. Get out."

Jane is reportedly dating the 75-year-old musician and is the mother of six adult children, Jenni, 44, Katherine, 42, Sean, 39, Kalen, 56, and twins John and Kristopher, 29.

The actress shared that the blaze, which has been dubbed "Franklin Fire", was not able to damage her home because "the fire trucks just came right away, and we got saved."

"The whole house smells of smoke, but we're just so grateful," added Seymour, before hailing the firefighters. "The job the fire brigade did is beyond belief. If you are where I live, and you look up the hill, and every house the fire came right up to one inch of the dwelling. It is absolutely incomprehensible to me that so few structures were burned."

Jane Seymour's speech while collecting the LA icon honor

While being awarded at the event, Jane Seymour said on stage, "This is a huge honor, and after the week that we've had with the fires coming right up to my house, I couldn't even conceive of putting clothes on, let alone being able to come and talk to anyone about anything."

The twice Golden Globe winner expressed that she was "incredibly blessed" to be able to continue working in Hollywood, saying, "I don't know how that works, because usually you turn 40 and you're a woman and you're too old. But when I was 40, I got a little thing called 'Dr Quinn,' and that really saved my life - I've been very fortunate."

Seymour also spoke of her moniker of "Bond Girl", which she earned by starring opposite the late Sir Roger Moore in the 1973 film 'Live And Let Die'. The actress said that she would never lose the title, and it was "probably the most important British export you can be a part of."
