Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said the fire was limited to one room.

“It is tough for anybody, obviously, to have your home catch on fire, but Hill was handling it with as much poise as you can hope,” said Rosenhaus.

The extent of the damage to the home is unknown. Hill purchased the house for nearly $7 million in 2022.
