Beyonc's Childhood Home Catches Fire On Christmas Day

Firefighters responded to the blaze overnight at the singer's former residence in Texas.

Beyoncé’s childhood home in Houston, Texas, went up in flames early Christmas morning.

At around 2 a.m. Monday, the city’s fire department got a call about a raging blaze at the singer’s former residence on Rosedale Street.

The couple currently living in the two-story house self-evacuated with their two small children before first responders arrived. They were uninjured in the incident, officials said.

Firefighters were reportedly able to contain  a large portion of the flames in about 10 minutes, but had to cut into the roof to address the attic.

Though the Texas-born pop star hasn’t lived in the home for decades, it’s still revered as a landmark by her fans.

The singer’s family paid $64,000 for the home in 1981, according to  TMZ . They left the three-bedroom house before Solange, Beyoncé’s sister and a fellow Grammy winner, was born in 1986.

Officials have yet to announce a cause of the fire.
