Sarah and her co-stars' appearance at the premiere comes hours after they were evacuated from Le Bristol Hotel in Paris after a fire broke out in the hotel's kitchen.

The actors were in the middle of press interviews to promote the horror movie when the fire alarms sounded at 11:00am, TMZ reports. 

The entire hotel was evacuated, with around 400 people seen exiting as multiple crews rushed to the scene. It's been reported that three people were treated for injuries during the incident. 

A hotel spokesperson told Daily Mail on Wednesday afternoon that the fire has 'now been fully contained and extinguished', adding that 'guests and staff, who were evacuated as a precautionary measure, are gradually returning to the hotel under fully safe conditions' and that the hotel, with the exception of its restaurant, has reopened to guests.

'The safety of our guests and employees is our top priority,' said the hotel.

According to TMZ, Sarah and the reboot's director, Chloe Zhao, felt 'blindsided' by the recent development as well as the timing.

The actress, who played Buffy Summers for seven seasons on the original show, did not mince her words when she claiming he made 'constant' reminders that he was not a fan of the original show.

It did not take long for fans of the series, which ran from 1997 to 2003, to speculate over the identity of the Disney exec.

Craig Erwich, president of Disney Television Group, was one of those executives whose name had circulated.

And now, multiple sources have confirmed to the Daily Mail it was indeed Craig who made the 'executive decision' to slash the Buffy reboot, '.

But it may not be the end of the road for Buffy, according to a source, as they hinted at Sarah's hopes to take the show 'elsewhere' and .

From there, actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong, 16, was  as Sunnydale's newest vampire slayer – just three years younger than Sarah when she was cast as Buffy in 1997. 

Sister screenwriting duo Nora and Lilla Zuckerman had reportedly written the pilot episode, with the series' original executive producers Gail Berman and husband and wife Fran and Kaz Kuzui also attached.

Throughout production, Sarah would update her five million Instagram followers with photos from the set, including a photo taken during a table read of the pilot episode last July. She also posed with Zhao, with the two seen holding wooden daggers in their hands.

Then, Sarah gave fans a far less welcomed update on Saturday when she posted a sombre video with news of the reboot's cancellation.

It was reported by People magazine that Sarah had received a phone call about the fate of the show on March 13 while attending the premiere for her latest film, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, which is also produced by Searchlight.
