The mother-of-two also appeared on Dancing with the Stars, the US equivalent of Strictly Come Dancing, in 2020.
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department LAFD, Heche’s vehicle “erupted in heavy fire”, which took 59 firefighters more than an hour to fully extinguish.
Her family said as well as suffering burns, the actress was left with “a severe brain injury” .
