HackerEarth Game problem solution

In this HackerEarth Game problem solution You are playing a game in which you have a rectangular grid of n*n cells. Each cell is either empty or has a firework. Empty cells are marked with ".", cells with firework are marked with "*" . Two cells are said to be adjacent if they share a side.

If firework in any cell explodes it destroys itself and the empty cells connected to it. Two cells are connected if there is a path of empty adjacent cells between them.
You have to find the number of cells that will be destroyed if the fireworks are triggered independently.
