Wait, what?

Hey All. I'm okay. Thanks for your concern.

So close, but so far.

On Sunday, actress Whoopi Goldberg thanked fans for their concern after a fire on her tour bus cut short her show in Moncton, N.B.

"I just wanted y'all to know I was in Moncton, Ontario," she said in a video posted to her Facebook account. "The greatest folks, greatest cops, greatest fire department — they put the fire out on the bus." (Watch above.)

Oh, Whoopi.

A few fans couldn't resist pointing out that the Oscar winner's Canadian geography was a few provinces off.

"Moncton, Ontario? It's New Brunswick, Whoopi," wrote one Facebook user.

"Moncton is in New Brunswick not Ontario but that's ok," said another. "Canada loves you anyway!"

People in the audience at Goldberg's Saturday show began smelling smoke near the end of the night. They were told there was a small fire in her tour bus that had been parked at the back of the theatre. Electrical issues are believed to be the culprit.

"I'm fine, the drivers are fine. Thank you for all your concern to everyone in Moncton that made a great evening possible," said Goldberg.
