Ellen DeGeneres is one of the first US celebrities to move out of the country after the election, and she chose the rural village of Cotswold in the UK as her new base. She relocated with her wife, Portia De Rossi, and sold off their California mansion for about $96 million.
Recent reports say Ellen’s new neighborhood was hit by Storm Bert last week, with winds of up to 80 miles per hour. The area is now flooded, and residents are worried as the waters continue to rise. They even claim it is their worst storm in years, and fans grew worried for Ellen and Portia amid the news.

Ellen and Portia reportedly paid £2.5 million more than the asking price to acquire their UK property, which was converted into a modern space over a decade ago. Instagram users took to Ellen’s comments, some relieved that her home was safe and others spitting them for fleeing the US.
“Love Ellen. Pure love. And people can’t stand others being happy. Cheers to another 20!!!” a supporter exclaimed, while another applauded their courage to start over. The property reportedly features six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a one-bedroom cottage. There is also a five-bay garage, a gym room, and office spaces.
