grammar - Using "our" in this situation

I asked my gf if her family was okay due to a natural disaster in her hometown. She replied to me, "our family are okay."




To me, I can't help smiling. I feel like she counts me in. In fact, I know that she doesn't mean that way. Both of us are not native speakers.



So, is this reply grammatically correct? Is it okay to use that way? I am not sure native speakers will think the way I am thinking.
