Beyoncé's childhood home in Houston has caught fire in the wee hours of Christmas Day, as reported by local news outlets in Texas.
According to ABC's KTRK, the second story of the home, which is located in the Rosedale Street area of the city's Third Ward, was the one that was engulfed in flames.
The Houston Fire Department revealed to ABC13 that they received a call reporting a fire at about 2 AM on December 25, with the family currently residing in the home still present.
Thankfully, no one was injured, with District Chief Justin Barnes telling the outlet: "They did a great job. I'm going to say in less than 10 minutes, we had a really good grip on this fire."
They say that the fire was quickly put out before it could cause much damage, with some of the family even including two young kids who were still in their Christmas pajamas.
The Knowles family bought the home in 1981, the year the singer was born, for a reported $64,000 per TMZ. However, they moved out a few years later, before her sister Solange was born in 1986. The home consists of three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The "Break My Soul" singer has often gushed about her love for her hometown, and recalled some of her favorite memories of her Houston life in a 2019 interview with Visit Houston.
