Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elijah Wood and other “Ready or Not 2” stars were forced to evacuate from a Paris hotel after a fire broke out Wednesday.
Members of the cast in Paris promoting their upcoming film were among 400 guests and service workers of Le Bristol Paris evacuated at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday after a fire broke out in the kitchens of the hotel’s 114 Faubourg restaurant, according to TMZ.
In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, Le Bristol communications director Fanny Crawford confirmed the fire was fully contained and extinguished and that the hotel’s staff, along with its guests, have safely returned.

In a video circulating online, the film’s stars, Kathryn Newton and Gellar, seemed to joke about escaping a fire mid-junket.
“The difference between how I escape a fire and how Kathryn escapes a fire,” Gellar, who was wearing hotel slippers, said. Newton was in full glam, including a pair of high heels.
“I never take them off,” Newton joked.
Representatives for Gellar, Wood and the Le Bristol Paris did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
