The current residents of the house were not injured in the fire, and the cause of the blaze is under investigation, according to CNN affiliate KTRK.
While Beyoncé and her family no longer live in the house in the 2400 block of Rosedale Street, the location is considered an “iconic landmark” to fans of the musician, they also reported.
The Knowles’ family bought the home in 1982 and Beyoncé lived there until she was 5 years old.
While the record-breaking Grammy winner is now a global superstar, she stays close to her roots in Houston.
For example, during the early months of theCOVID-19 pandemic, Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles, helped set up mobile testing sites in her hometown.
More recently, she was seen taking photos of the house when she was in her hometown for her Renaissance World Tour.
