Although lockdown has prevented her from visiting her other properties in New Orleans and London, she revealed she has enjoyed spending quality time with Taylor.

"It’s given me the opportunity to be with my husband in a sort of normal everyday way, which has been fantastic. It is actually the first time in all of our 30 years together that we’ve sat down at the table each night and had dinner together. Normally we’re getting on planes, going here, there. ... So it’s been fabulous just to be a normal person," Helen said, according to The Independent.

With Helen's home nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and surrounded by nature and animals, it's no wonder she loves unwinding here – even if it means chasing the odd black bear out of her garden! Take a tour inside the Prime Suspect star's house...

Undoubtedly one of the most impressive aspects of Helen's home is her garden, which is frequently visited by wildlife who come right up to her door. She recently shared a video of a black bear standing at the bottom of a wooden ramp leading up to her property with trees, boulders and a sprinkling of snow in the background. It revealed her home has glass sliding doors.
