Beyoncé's childhood home in south central Houston was engulfed in flames 
early Christmas morning.
The massive fire broke out in the very early hours, with the Houston Fire 
Department showing up shortly after 2 am..
Local news outlets described "aggressive" flames engulfing the two-story 
home, which has become a local cultural landmark. Firefighters were able 
to get the flames under control within minutes of arriving, but had to cut 
into the roof to do so.
The cause of the fire remains unknown.
The house recently was featured in "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé," in a 
scene where she drives past it.
The 3,000-square-foot house has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and was 
built in 1946. It was last sold in 2019.
