The family who currently lives at the property was not inside the home when fire officials arrived to fight the blaze, and no one was hurt, CBS affiliate KHOU reported.

The home in the historic Riverside Terrace neighborhood was built in 1946.

A message sent to Beyoncé's publicist was not immediately returned late Monday.
