When a spontaneous fire started at singer Carrie Underwood’s secluded house on Sunday, June 16, things became dangerous.
The cause of the fire remained unknown as firefighters battled the unrelenting blaze late into the night, leading to an ongoing investigation into what started the flames.
Singer Carrie Underwood’s Tennessee house, where she lives with her husband and family, caught fire in the late evening, marking a tragic conclusion to the evening. It is estimated that the fire broke out at 9:45 p.m.
Williamson County Fire Rescue crew members were sent to Underwood’s residence in the Pinewood neighborhood, west of Leiper’s Fork, to put out the fire that had taken hold of the home’s garage.
Underwood’s residence is located in a rural place, therefore the County Fire Rescue had to send all eight of its stations to respond to the call. To get to the property, the crew had to go up a long driveway and then another long road, according to officials.
The home’s 10,000-gallon water tank helped the crew members rapidly put out the fire.
The firefighters had to remain on the scene for several more hours in order to control the flare-ups and stop the fire from spreading further because it had, regrettably, penetrated into the walls and continued to flare up in hot spots.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and Underwood’s family, who was at home at the time, was unharmed. The main home was likewise unharmed.
The Williamson County Fire Rescue detailed the previous night’s events in a statement posted on its Facebook page early on Monday morning. It stated, among other things, that investigations were being conducted to find out what might have started the fire. However, there are rumors that a UTV that was parked close to the garage may have started the fire.
A statement was also sent by Carrie Underwood’s spokesperson after the event, stating that a fire broke out on the property on Sunday night and was promptly put out. They also stated that the family and their pets were safe and that there was no fire damage to the main property.
Tallulah Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, opens up about her recent diagnosis.
Tallulah Willis, the youngest daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, has revealed her autism diagnosis, inspired in part by her father’s courageous battle with frontotemporal dementia
In a heartfelt social media post, the 30-year-old shared a childhood memory of her dad carrying her on the red carpet, hinting at a personal revelation about her adult diagnosis.
A Candid Moment on Instagram
Tallulah, one of three daughters of Bruce Willis, 69, and Demi Moore, 61, posted a nostalgic video of herself as a child, playfully engaging with her father at a film premiere.
Encouraging her 408,000 followers to participate in the conversation, she captioned the March 15th clip: “Tell me you’re autistic without telling me you’re autistic [sic].”
Fans quickly responded, expressing admiration for the sweet father-daughter moment while others, familiar with autism traits, noted her behaviors and Bruce’s gentle reaction.
“Your dad is truly special, and so are you. The way he stayed calm and just kept holding you is beautiful,” one user commented. Another added, “In your defense, shaved heads can be just as soothing as a Japanese Zen garden.”
A third wrote, “His concern for your feelings is pure magic. I’m so glad you have these moments captured forever.”
Tallulah’s Diagnosis
One of the most notable responses came from a psychologist specializing in neurodivergent conditions, who asked if she had been diagnosed as a child.
Tallulah replied, “This is the first time I’m sharing my diagnosis publicly. I found out this summer, and it has completely changed my life.”
Her response resonated with many, as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often diagnosed in childhood, but many—especially women—go undiagnosed until adulthood.
Recognizing Stimming
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes ASD as a developmental condition that affects communication, social interactions, and often includes repetitive behaviors or specific interests.
Tallulah’s sister, Scout LaRue Willis, 32, commented on the video, noting that her younger sister was “stimming”—a term used to describe repetitive movements or actions that help individuals with autism regulate sensory experiences.
“Dude, the ear curl,” Tallulah responded, pointing out the moment she playfully folded her father’s ear, which made him smile. “I wish we had better audio.”
Supporting Bruce Willis
Tallulah, Scout, and their older sister Rumer Willis, 35, have been a pillar of love and support for their father as he faces aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, has also shared touching insights into his character, writing, “Being in his arms is the safest place in the world. He’s a true gentleman, full of love to give and share. That’s the Bruce I see every day.”
At this time, Tallulah has not shared further details about her diagnosis, but her openness has sparked meaningful conversations about autism awareness and late diagnoses.
