It’s heartbreaking news for Beyonce and her family—her childhood home in Houston caught fire on Christmas morning.
Reports flooded in on Monday, around 2 a.m. local time, summoning the Houston Fire Department to the residence on Rosedale Street in the Third Ward of Houston, Texas. It’s where the 42-year-old powerhouse, known for hits like “Cuff It,” spent her early years.
Firefighters rushed to the scene and managed to quell the flames within a mere 10 minutes of their arrival. Thankfully, the family currently residing in the house made it out unharmed, as per Fox’s Houston affiliate KRIV. However, the cause of the fire is still a mystery under investigation.
This house holds immense sentimental value for Beyonce, Solange, and their parents, Tina and Matthew Knowles. It was their home until they moved out in 1986. The place even made a cameo in Beyonce’s film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce, where she drove by it during a tour stop over the summer.
The connection to her roots and childhood memories must make this incident incredibly distressing for Beyonce and her family. It’s more than just a house—it’s a symbol of their history and beginnings.
On another note, Beyonce’s recent concert movie stirred up quite a storm with rumors swirling around. Her rep stepped in to put an end to the chatter, shutting down a major rumor about the film. But right now, all thoughts and concerns are with Beyonce and her family after this devastating event.
