The actress and model took to her Instagram broadcast channel to share the news with her followers and said that “[they] were given a second chance.”

While Sarah did not provide details about who her companions were during the incident, she affirmed that they are all doing well. “Things could have been much worse, yet my family and I are alive and well,” she said. “La vie est belle. Life goes on.”
