New Yorkers were rocked yesterday afternoon with the news of a gas explosion that destroyed four apartment buildings on Second Avenue in the East Village. It’s a nightmare for many of us who live downtown in former tenement housing, and it’s a tragedy for those who were injured in the fires or lost their homes. And at least newly displaced resident has a familiar face: Drea de Matteo, who is known for her role of Adriana La Cerva on The Sopranos.

As People reports, the Emmy-winning actress lamented the loss of her apartment of 22 years on Instagram. Her building, 123 Second Avenue, was next door to the building where the fire originated and was one of four buildings that collapsed.

As mentioned above, De Matteo won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series back in 2004 for her work on the fifth season of The Sopranos. She was nominated for her work in two episodes, both of which are available to stream:
“Irregular Around the Margins” [Stream it on HBO Go or Amazon Prime]
“Long Term Parking” [Stream it on HBO Go or Amazon Prime]
