I haven't seen any statistics, but it appears that Rita Wilson and her husband contracted it in Australia from what I've read. That was the more worrying thing to me about that news than the celebrity connection.

Two global travelers with frequent contact to other global travelers doesn't prove much.
It's anecdata for sure. Apparently though, at least one TV reporter contracted the virus after being in contact with Rita Wilson. Again, anecdata, but it points towards the idea that there is local transmission.
