Trixie Mattel's career is on fire at the moment.

Literally.

The Drag Race All Stars winner has taken to social media after her digital billboard in New York City's Times Square was caught in flames. The billboard featured the drag queen's Pride Month campaign for SKYY Vodka.

“My Times Square billboard is on fire so some of us have real problems,” the star, whose documentary screens at Sydney Film Festival later this year, tweeted. 

She added: “Keep your loved ones close and your billboards closer today. First Melissa Joan Hart unfollowed me and now this?! Stream Yellow Cloud to send thoughts and prayers.”

Fortunately, ABC 7 soon reported that FDNY firefighters had managed to put out the fire, which was located on the corner of West 43rd Street and Broadway.
