“It’s done. The house done, bro,” Hill told his Dolphins teammates. “Smoke damage, fire damage. The whole upstairs is burnt down. It’s alright, though.”
The two-alarm fire at Hill’s Southwest Ranches, Fla., home last Wednesday reportedly caused $2.3 million in damages, according toTMZ. Everyone inside the home at the time of the fire was safe and local fire officials said there were no injuries as a result of the blaze.

Hill could be seen standing on the street outside the home alongside his wife Keeta Vaccaro as firefighters worked on containing the fire, which began in the upstairs portion of the property’s main house.
LocalNBC 6 Miamicameras broadcast live footage of the scene, showing firefighters had cut a hole in the roof of the home.
The 9,300-square-foot property includes two guest houses, seven total bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a home theater, a large basketball court and putting green, as well as a large indoor pool, according to the local station.
“We’re very grateful to the firefighters that put the fire out,” Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told reporters outside of the house after the fire was extinguished. “Thankfully, the fire was contained to a limited area in the home. Obviously, there’ll be some smoke and water damage. It’s very difficult for anybody obviously to have your home catch on fire, but Tyreek was handling it, he and his family, with as much poise as you could hope.”
The wide receiver, who leads the league in receiving yards this season, received support from his Dolphins teammates throughout the incident. Their initial reactions to the fire were also caught on HBO cameras last week.
“I called him a couple of times but he wasn’t he wasn’t answering,” quarterback Tua Tagovailoa told a coach during a team meeting. “I’m sure a lot of people have called him as well. So, I just sent him a text but he didn’t text back.”
