A fire at a luxury hotel in Paris forced the evacuation of around 400 guests, including actors Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elijah Wood—plus other cast members of ‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’ (2026). The incident occurred on March 25, during a press event for the film, when a blaze broke out in the hotel’s kitchen.
Emergency procedures were quickly implemented, and the entire building was cleared as a precaution. Hotel representatives later confirmed that the fire had been contained and extinguished, and that no injuries were reported.
Guests were allowed to return after the situation was brought under control, with most areas of the hotel reopening shortly afterward.
