Paris Hilton and her team are safe following a fire on the set of her upcoming music video.

Hilton was filming a video for “Bad Bitch Academy” on Friday when a fire broke out in her trailer and spread across the set, the artist wrote on her Instagram Story.

“Sadly an accidental fire broke out in my trailer on the set of my music video today,” Hilton wrote. “As heartbreaking as it is, I’m so thankful everyone is safe and I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing support I have around me.”

Photos showed the trailer charred from top to bottom, with a broken roof and several burnt set pieces. In a video posted Saturday, Hilton showed more of the interior, which she said “smells like I’m in the movie Candyman or something.”

“It’s tough to see so many of my things destroyed,” Hilton wrote. “But thankfully everyone is safe and okay and that’s all that matters. Here’s hoping Day 2 of filming ‘Bad Bitch Academy’ is a little less lit.”

Hilton named Heidi Klum, Meghan Trainor, Lance Bass and Simon Rex as all present for the music video and subsequent fire, as well as director Hannah Lux David.

“Bad Bitch Academy” is part of Hilton’s upcoming album, Infinite Icon, which will release Sept. 6. On Instagram, the singer noted that filming resumed with a message that read “the show must go on.”

Hilton previously released “I’m Free (feat. Rina Sawayama)” in June and “Chasin (feat. Meghan Trainor)” in July.
