Menounos said she discovered a nearby reservoir had flooded a koi pond at the home of her neighbor, Murray Siegel, 95.

The TV host and other neighbors sprang into action to rescue the fish and get them back to water.

Menounos said being able to rescue several of the fish was a "Christmas miracle." Siegel said he plans to rebuild the pond.
