The home rented by Lost actress Evangeline Lilly in Kailua, Hawaii, has been lost in a fire that completely destroyed the residence, Lilly’s rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“Yes, it is unfortunately true that her home in Hawaii burned down this morning,” said the rep, Cara Tripicchio. “Thankfully, Evangeline is safe as she was on set already when it occurred.”

Tripicchio added: “There is no official statement, and I have no further comment or information to provide at this time.”

The house, which Lilly reportedly shares with two women who work on the Lost crew, was empty at the time of the blaze. No injuries were reported.

Honolulu Fire Capt. Kenison Tejada said the fire is believed to have been sparked by a faulty electrical outlet in the outdoor porch area of the house. Damage to the house was estimated at $250,000, while the contents were valued at roughly $50,000.

Tejada said that his department received the alarm at 6:43 a.m. Wednesday, and that crews reached the scene six minutes later.

“When we arrived the house was fully engulfed,” Tejada said. “It was a complete loss. Just the roof was still standing.”

He confirmed that none of the house’s three female residents were home at the time of the fire. Two were at work and the third was off island, he said.

Lilly, 27, who plays Kate on the series, earlier this year has been romantically linked to costar Dominic Monaghan.

Fire investigators arrived on the scene of the early morning blaze later on Wednesday.

“I woke up to my dogs barking,” Morgan Janus, a neighbor who lives across the street, told the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper. “There were loud popping sounds, like something electrical.”

It was actors’ choice: The Lost and Desperate Housewives casts took top TV honors, while the cast of Crash claimed the major movie prize as actors honored their own at the 12th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night.

Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) were named best movie actress and actor, respectively, and Desperate Housewife Felicity Huffman was singled out as lead in a comedy series. Sean Hayes, of Will %26 Grace, won as male lead in a comedy, while 24 star Kiefer Sutherland and Sandra Oh, of Grey’s Anatomy, were both named best actors in a drama series.

Oh was the first of the evening’s winners to be announced. “This is unbelievable,” exclaimed the actress, who plays Dr. Cristina Yang on the ABC medical series. She also acknowledged her show’s technical adviser, “who makes us all look like doctors, because we’re not,” and said she shares her award “with all the Asian-American actors out there … be encouraged.”

S. Epatha Merkerson won as best actress in a TV movie, for Lackawanna Blues, a feat she also pulled off at the Emmys and the Golden Globes. Choking up, she told the crowd inside Los Angeles’s Shrine Auditorium of her speech: “There’s nothing in my bra, there’s nothing in my head, it’s all in my heart.” But it wasn’t all tears. “I have to say a very public thank-you to my divorce lawyer,” she said, cracking up.

Paul Newman, who was a no-show because he is working (according to presenter William H. Macy), was named best actor in a TV miniseries for Empire Falls.

Came her time at the podium, Witherspoon said her parents thought she was crazy when she first told them that she wanted to become an actor - “They’re both doctors” - and she credited June Carter Cash, whom she plays onscreen, for being the real-life rock behind music legend Johnny Cash.
