UPDATED 1/4, 2:20 p.m. ET: Fire officials have confirmed the cause of the fire at Tyreek Hill's home in Florida.
Per TMZ, a Davie Fire Department spokesperson said that an investigation into the blaze led them to believe a child inside a bedroom playing with a lighter caused the fire. While the relation of the child to Hill is unclear, officials have identified the fire as "accidental" with no further investigation into the matter.

Firefighters responded to a blaze at Tyreek Hill's Florida home on Wednesday, Jan. 3.
As reported by CBS News, firefighters showed up at the Miami Dolphins wide receiver's mansion in Southwest Ranches, with footage showing them fighting the blaze from the roof of the property. Black and white smoke was billowing from the house, with several fire engines and crews at the scene.
Per reporter Ari Meriov, Hill's family is safe and out of the house, with Hill leaving practice after hearing news of the fire. It's not clear what started the blaze, but Hill was later seen sporting a leg brace while standing in the driveway with family members.
Hill has yet to address the situation on social media. It's also unclear how much damage the fire had on the property.
The unfortunate news for Hill comes as he heads into what he said will be his third-last season in the NFL. Last year, he indicated that the 2025 season would be his last. "I'm gonna finish out this contract with the Dolphins and then I'm gonna call it quit," he told Sports Radio 810 WHB.
More recently, he added that he would like to pursue a career in pornography once he finishes his contract with the Dolphins. "When I retire, bro, I really wanna be a porn star, bro,” Hill said during a stream on Twitch with Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans. “Like, dead serious. You think I got that?”
