Lisa logged into her Instagram on Tuesday (September 12) to share a quote with her followers.
It read: "Once the heart gets too heavy with pain, people don't cry. They just turn silent. Completely silent."
Lisa accompanied the poignant message with three praying hand emojis.
Ant's long time TV partner and best friend Declan Donnelly lives next door with his wife Ally, daughter Isla, and son, Jack.
The London Fire Brigade are thought to have sent six fire engines and 40 firefighters to the scene at the time.
Crews from Chiswick, Hammersmith, Richmond, and surrounding stations joined forces to put out the fire.
Pictures shared by the fire service on social media showed the property with fire crews working outside.
They captioned the post: "Firefighters have deployed a 32m ladder at the scene of the #Chiswick incident. Crews are responding to a fire in a house."
The cause of the fire is under investigation, said the London Fire Brigade online.
The Mirror's photographer, who is at the scene, said the house is currently being rented to a family of six.

The nanny and one cleaner were the only ones inside the property at the time when the blaze began. The fire is believed to have been electrical.
Since moving out, Ant has bought a house in Wimbledon, south west London, with his new wife Anne-Marie Corbett and her two children.
