Real Housewives Stars Son Linked to Arson Fire

personality Jennifer Pedranti said that her son was 'involved' in starting a brush fire in Ladera Ranch, earlier this week.

Pedranti, 49, said in an Instagram Stories post Thursday, 'I would like to clear up the rumblings of my son having involvement in the Ladera Ranch fire. He and others were involved.'

The Bravo star said that she and her ex-husband Will Pedranti 'take this very serious,' adding that 'this behavior is unacceptable and we are deeply sorry to our community.'

Officials with the Orange County Fire Authority said on Tuesday that 'firefighters held a vegetation fire on Narrow Canyon Road in Ladera Ranch to just seven acres after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting the fire threatening nearby homes at 4:45 p.m.'

The OCFA said that a 'coordinated ground and air response ... quickly stopped the fire' with two helicopters and two aircrafts supporting firefighters on the ground in an effort that prevented injuries and protected homes. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Pedranti for further comment on the story. 

On her social media, Pedranti said, 'This is a tough learning moment for our son and our family.'
