The first images of Tyreek Hill's fire-damaged Florida mansion have emerged. On the morning it was revealed that the massive fire was caused by a child playing with a lighter.

Miami Dolphins star Hill rushed back from practice on Wednesday after being notified his house was on fire, with firefighters arriving on the scene shortly before 2pm.

Fortunately, no one was injured, but photos taken on Thursday morning show a huge hole in the roof of the seven-bedroom property, which Hill bought in 2022 for $6.9 million.

According to TMZ, it has now also been revealed that officials believe the fire was caused by a child in a bedroom in the Southwest Ranches home.

It is still unclear whether the child is related to Hill, and the fire has been formally identified as accidental, so there will be no further investigation.

Hill was pictured returning to the property hand-in-hand with his wife Keeta Vaccaro to inspect the damage around 3 p.m.

Speaking to 7News, Hill's agent said of his client: “It's obviously very difficult for anyone to have your house catch on fire… but Hill handled it with as much poise as you could hope for.”

The fire is just the latest blow for Hill in a difficult few months, after he was hit with two separate paternity suits after fathering three children in 2023.

Hill – who married his long-time partner in November – fathered children with three different women in four months – and none was his wife.

As exclusively revealed by DailyMail.com, Hill has received paternity suits from two different women, who claim the children born in February and May respectively are his and are seeking higher child support from the Dolphins recipient.
