HOUSTON — The childhood home of singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter was badly damaged in a fire Christmas morning in the Third Ward neighborhood of Houston.

Firefighters arrived on the scene after receiving a call around 2 a.m. to find the home’s second floor fully engulfed in flames, according to Houston’s ABC affiliate, ABC13.

The Houston Fire Department arrived on the scene of the two-story brick house within three to five minutes, the Houston Chronicle reported.

“We had it contained in about 10 minutes,” Houston Fire Department District Chief Justin Barnes told the newspaper.

The family that currently occupies the house were still in their festive pajamas when firefighters arrived. They managed to escape. No one was injured, according to officials.

Located in the heart of one of Houston’s most historic neighborhoods, the home of the global star has become one of the city’s landmarks and a hot spot for tourists looking to catch a glimpse into the singer’s upbringing, even though the Knowles family hasn’t lived there in decades.

In her recent film that premiered earlier this month in theaters, Beyoncé visits the home during her Houston dates on her Renaissance World Tour.

The singer takes a stroll down memory lane as home videos of the singer as a little girl, running around playfully in the home rolls on the screen.

Beyoncé's family bought the home on the 2400 block of Rosedale in 1982 and Beyoncé lived there until she was 5 years old. The home in the historic Riverside Terrace neighborhood was built in 1946.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
