Yes I would agree that's fair, depending on how long she was in New York and what nationality her family was (bear in mind, I know absolutely zero about this particular celebrity).
I was born in Australia, to an English mother and an Irish father, spent most of my life in the UK and now live in Austria and work in Germany. What nationality am I? I call myself British.
Nationality is more fluid, these days, than it used to be. "Irish American" seems fair in the case of this actress.
