Last night, Dev Hynes, a.k.a Blood Orange, lost everything in a fire in his Brooklyn apartment. He broke the sad news this morning in a series of tweets:
Last night, the unthinkable happened. My entire apt burnt down while I was out. I've lost everything I own, including scores, hard drives...

.. clothes, sentimental items. Everything from my life is gone.

My dog died in the fire. I will love you forever Cupid. I miss you.

I still don't own a phone. So email me if you need to get in touch. I might need some time. Thanks.

Robin Urbani, mother of Hynes' girlfriend Samantha Urbani, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help replace what was lost. While the outpouring of support has already broken their $5,000 goal, a statement on the page reads:
...I hope more people will continue to share this and make even small donations... as I am sure the goal I set is only a small fraction of the value of everything that has been lost. Love to you all!!!
