The charred car was found Friday in Patterson, New Jersey, with two victims inside, both shot execution-style in the head.
Police traced the car to the reality TV star, also known as “Kim D,” but have not officially released the identities of the victims.
“My son and I are safe,” DePaola posted on Instagram.
“Our deepest condolences go out to the victims’ families of this truly horrific tragedy.”
DePaola, 56, is not a suspect, according to local news reports.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star appeared on the show between 2010 and 2013 before opening a clothing boutique called Porsche.
